To clarify, I would like the upstream developers to consider |
| 8 |
improvements in Gentoo/FreeBSD for inclusion to make collaboration |
| 9 |
easier. I view the GPL-2 to be an issue, particularly because I had to |
| 10 |
ask naota for permission to contribute his improvement to an ebuild I |
| 11 |
wrote to the upstream developers. |

I do not expect the upstream maintainers to familiarize themselves with |
| 14 |
the intricacies of what they can take and what they cannot take, so I |
| 15 |
would prefer to relicense all ebuilds in sys-freebsd/* under the terms |
| 16 |
of the BSD-2 license. |

It is much easier to say to the upstream developers that everything in |
| 19 |
portage's sys-freebsd/* category is available to them under the license |
| 20 |
that they use than it is expect them to learn a list of rules. |
