"A Gentoo Operating System is an operating system that satisfies there |
| 8 |
requirements:" |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
s/there/three |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Also, only one requirement is there: self-hosting. |

"A Gentoo Project is a project listed in the Gentoo Metastructure." |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
It could be helpful to link to the metastructure page when it says |
| 17 |
"Gentoo Metastructure." |
| 18 |
|

In referencing free software, it could be helpful to link to the FSF's |
| 20 |
page describing exactly what that is. The first references seems to be: |
| 21 |
"free software developed by Gentoo Developers." |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The use of "depend" in Gentoo depending on non-free things remains |
| 24 |
unclear. Infrastructure, etc. When we say Gentoo, do we mean the whole |
| 25 |
Gentoo project or Gentoo Operating Systems? One could infer the latter |
| 26 |
from what the contract says, especially the Note, but it can't hurt to |
| 27 |
clarify it. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The "We will not hide problems" clause should be changed to reflect |
| 30 |
occasional private bugs for personnel-related (and potentially |
| 31 |
security-related, although I don't think this is being done yet) issues. |
| 32 |

Thanks, |
