<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Call me paranoid but before putting effort into 
gentoo I would like to know more about who gentoo is.&nbsp; You're a .org but 
are you actually a charity?&nbsp; What is your relationship to gentoo.com?&nbsp; 
What is your relationship with IBM?&nbsp; I suppose I'm looking for a statement 
akin to debian's social contract, because at present any ethics (which to me is 
the whole point of linux) are only implied.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also it would be nice to have a global option (in 
/etc/make.conf ?) for allowing only GPL'ed software, GPL + other "open source" 
licences, or any licence - so the end user can decide.</FONT></DIV>
