4 I suppose you could put a disclaimer in, along the lines of the Sun
5 Java license (i.e. some text and then "are you sure you agree to this:
6 Y/N"). It sounds awfully like another SCO to me, and I don't see how
7 they can really go after the users (especially those of us in the UK).
8 Better to be safe than sorry though for the present and then see how
9 it fans out over the next couple of weeks.

11 I don't think it should be removed from portage altogether though,
12 just because a company claims that some of the code is theirs
13 (otherwise we'd have to remove the Linux kernel as well).
