Hi,
Some comments of mine.
1. We use python because the ebuild system is in heavy development and
python is very good for RAD.
If we have all the features we want in ebuild wewill port it t C++,
so this GPL problem isonly temporary.
2. You must separate the portage tree fron the iso's. In the near future
(1.0-final or a bit later) it should
be possible to build a system that relyies only on GPL'ed software. We
don't care about GPL-philosophies
for our release-candidate iso's because we want to provide a
fullfeatured and usable system that includes
most of the things you expenct a linux-distro to have at the moment.
Try to see it like portage is some sort
of distribution-framework and the iso is just an example what you can
do with it.
