Fair point, I suppose what I was trying to say is that you don't |
| 12 |
distribute a Gentoo VMware package, as other distros would have to. Even |
| 13 |
if the licence didn't permit mirroring, you'd still have the builds in |
| 14 |
portage, but with fetch restriction (I take it the beta ebuilds are fetch |
| 15 |
restricted). |
