19 Gentoo is made for users too. Don't be overly protective, but find honour
20 in the fact that he chooses to use gentoo and the installer project to
21 base his work on. You should help him, and inquire what the project is
22 about. If he finishes you might even ask whether you can showcase it.
23 Possibly even leading to an article on newsforge (or other newssite)
24 leading for POSITIVE publicity for gentoo. Not kick people out of IRC
25 channels only if they don't agree with you. And indeed the GPL does not
26 make you release the spec file. The open nature of gentoo should.
