Golly, I guess Gentoo must be even _more_ "morally reprehensible" than either the FSF or SCO, eh? I mean, they create a system that includes all kinds of free software written by other people and they call it "Gentoo" without any permission at all from all those developers! The horror! At least the GNU folks actually _DO_ have copyright to the large majority of the code in what they call "the GNU system"; the same can't be said for Gentoo.
