I just added sci-mathematics/bertini to the tree. I talked to the |
| 12 |
upstream developers the other day and their main concern is somebody |
| 13 |
taking the code and making money with it. Another concern is that |
| 14 |
changed versions of the source code may give incorrect results and ruin |
| 15 |
their reputation. I personally would say that the GPL would protect |
| 16 |
them, but in the end it is their choice. |

They assured me that the relation to distributions is a friendly one and |
| 19 |
they welcome bug reports and patches upstream. |
