Principles like this one are always going to be hard to hit 100%, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't do the best we can. That said, I don't really see how the 32-bit packages violate this. If they happen to include non-FOSS that really isn't GENTOO depending on them. I don't think anything essential in Gentoo depends on any non-FOSS components of any packages in the tree. Having non-stuff in the tree isn't the same as depending on them. Neither is having a random package that depends on a non-free package - we're talking about GENTOO depending on something, not a random package in the tree. If some project wanted to ONLY accept contributions via pull requests on github, then I could start seeing some concern. -- Rich
