I suppose it's paragraph 4 you object to? It seems to say that if a user |
| 18 |
makes changes to Panda and then distributes Panda with these changes, then |
| 19 |
(1) the changes must be identified as the user's, not as Panda's, (2) the |
| 20 |
user must send these changes to Panda. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
For Gentoo, I suppose that means that if Gentoo has to make changes to the |
| 23 |
software in order to support it, then Gentoo must identify them as Gentoo |
| 24 |
changes and send them to Panda. In Gentoo's case, this seems mostly to |
| 25 |
mean that Panda must be told what Gentoo has to do to support Panda. |

Or am I missing something? |
