1 The PMS document is relased under the CCPL-Attribution-ShareAlike-3.0
2 license. This may raise some issues for package managers that want to
3 use some of the included code snippets. Portage and paludis are
4 licensed under GPL-2, and pkgcore seems to be heading towards BSD.

6 Currently, most of the code snippets are short (under 10 lines) and
7 are probably not copyrightable. But this might change in future.

9 Could we put all code snippets under some unrestrictive license
10 please? Like CC0-1.0-Universal?
