AND HOW MANY MESSAGES ABOUT IT?
 

The signal:noise ratio went dead here.

<signal>
his points about the license is valid, and a good one at that. I quite
like the concept of "emerge system" only pulling in sk. "free" licenses.
 thats what we have right now in practicallity, I see no reason to
change the formality to match the practicality.

<noise>
as for the name  change.. er.. No.
simply cause then I couldnt go and port the BSD userspace tools + libc
to the linux kernel and package in Gentoo... then it wouldn't be GNU
linux .. itd be BSD Linux .. And we'd have anther name.. Bah bah bah.


Call the system you install GNU/Linux if you wish. I know mine is mostly
GNU/Linux. but I would sure want to try and make Gentoo possibly
something more than GNU. I dont want to tie my efforts to that only. 
for now we ship only GNU  as the "real hard core" (of course, our own
work... BSD stuff and the python + perl things.. but those hardly
count.......)
