... Which was basically my point, up-thread. Gentoo has trademarks and
etc, and if it decided to "go Apple" (or nuclear, the term I'd have used)
on the unofficial wiki (among other sites), it could. But that'd be a
very bad situation for everyone involved, not just for the wiki, but for
Gentoo as well.
Other than that, Gentoo doesn't control the independent and unofficial
gentoo-wiki, and thus doesn't feel comfortable linking to it. Quite
reasonable, I think.
Actually, this whole sub-thread about whether they're abiding by the
current policy or not, then, wasn't my intent, and was in fact entirely
unexpected.
