... Which was basically my point, up-thread. Gentoo has trademarks and |
| 9 |
etc, and if it decided to "go Apple" (or nuclear, the term I'd have used) |
| 10 |
on the unofficial wiki (among other sites), it could. But that'd be a |
| 11 |
very bad situation for everyone involved, not just for the wiki, but for |
| 12 |
Gentoo as well. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Other than that, Gentoo doesn't control the independent and unofficial |
| 15 |
gentoo-wiki, and thus doesn't feel comfortable linking to it. Quite |
| 16 |
reasonable, I think. |

Actually, this whole sub-thread about whether they're abiding by the |
| 19 |
current policy or not, then, wasn't my intent, and was in fact entirely |
| 20 |
unexpected. |
