5 Just to clarify, I wasn't suggesting redistributing license-encumbered
6 packages. Since binary packages are managed by the system administrator,
7 not Gentoo (as a distro), it remains with the administrator to adhere to
8 any relevant license restrictions. Plus the package manager can't tell
9 if you're distributing binaries or not.
