All except tbb are closed-source but free with non-commercial licenses. Lately upstream has repackaged the icc and ifort (ifc) as a big tar blob containing all of them, but also release some of them separately. For various reasons we would like to keep separate ebuilds. The problem is the separate packages have common libraries, causing duplication and file collisions. So the idea was to download the tar blob which contain a few binary rpms and base new ebuilds on these rpms. This means we will have to re-distribute the rpms on our mirrors. I can't understand from the many licenses if we are allowed to do it, it surprisingly looks like we can do it. Anyone with better understanding of the licences could help? Upstream does not answer. -- Sebastien
