Ugh, this was one of the reasons I moved away from debian. Too much |
11 |
time spent on political issues and trying to be political correct and |
12 |
'pure'. I like the gentoo way of giving me the programs I need here |
13 |
and now. With debian there was always a bunch of unoffical dpkg sites |
14 |
which had to reside in sources.list to get some files which were |
15 |
deemed 'unappropiate' for the offical Debian. |

Moving down the path of free/non-free will soon make you end up on the |
18 |
road of insanity. Who's to decide what's non-free and not? Perhaps an |
19 |
easy way to dump the LICENSE field in the ebuild you're about to |
20 |
install, but adding a USE flag for it seems to overdo a non-issue I |
21 |
think. |

To segfault is human; to bluescreen moronic. |
