Yeah, but most of us are pretty well aware that we're submitting an ebuild
with Gentoo copyright on it. I think the vast majority are perfectly happy
for it to help Gentoo under whatever license you guys think is appropriate.
It's not like we don't see the copyright notice, and are unaware of it. The
only question is why can't that be GPL3? It's not exactly stopping Gentoo
from using the ebuild.
But it does imply that the ebuild cannot be used for Tivo-ised systems,
which I for one, would much prefer for anything I contribute to.
Like I say tho, whatever is best for Gentoo as a whole.
