To me its directed towards the meta distribution and not any of the underlying support mechanisms of Gentoo. If we were to use some non-gpl webapp, the underlying Gentoo system you run does not depend on a non-gpl piece of software. A bug tracking system is not an underlying component of Gentoo. Its just a tool that helps with development of Gentoo. But anyways, some people view it in the strict sense and they're entitled to it. That's just how I view it when I read it. Its a bit vague on what Gentoo really is. Is it talking only about the meta distribution? Or that plus the underlying supporting systems that help run Gentoo? --=20 Lance Albertson Gentoo Infrastructure | Operations Manager --- GPG Public Key: Key fingerprint: 0423 92F3 544A 1282 5AB1 4D07 416F A15D 27F4 B742 ramereth/irc.freenode.net --------------enigEEC652F4B4001FC7B7A43AFC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (Darwin) iD8DBQFE094SQW+hXSf0t0IRAuM/AKDx6MVV5Ipj1Q92b9eyXDPEzGTJTgCgwjXr RCVQO5klzymqlEGKJwjbjfQ= =ggJ6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigEEC652F4B4001FC7B7A43AFC-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
