I like the idea of a pointer to user sites, tho I too would be |
20 |
uncomfortable having j. random user's ebuilds on *.gentoo.org |
21 |
(specifically hand-selected users that are working with specific devs is |
22 |
different, particularly where a dev then retains some accountability for |
23 |
said selection). |

One thing to remember, however. In the US at least, linking to specific |
26 |
illegal material is considered illegal in itself. There is a "common |
27 |
carrier" exemption, however, with the caveat of DMCA takedown notices. |
28 |
Thus, the section on user overlays couldn't mention any non-Gentoo |
29 |
controlled j random user overlays specifically. |
30 |
|
31 |
What /could/ happen is that the overlays front-page story introduces the |
32 |
concept in general terms, with a link to a forum for discussion. The |
33 |
forum infrastructure would then provide the ability for users to link |
34 |
to various overlays, and take care of any abuse or DMCA takedown notices |
35 |
as it already does. That would keep Gentoo's involvement legal and |
36 |
above-board. |
