That being said, You don't really need permission to link to to the |
| 12 |
Gentoo website. If you really want to be anal-retentive about being |
| 13 |
letter-perfect to the intellectual property laws, swift maintains a |
| 14 |
standard boilerplate at <http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/name-logo.xml>. |

Therein, you shall find all the dry details about what our legal system |
| 16 |
considers appropriate use. |

On the other hand, if you don't care a whit about all that rubbish, I |
| 19 |
don't think anybody at Gentoo will object to that blurb you quoted. In |
| 20 |
any case, I suspect that tacking ™ symbols on the end of every |
| 21 |
mention of Gentoo will suffice to keep you clean. |

IANAL. I am probably wrong in many strange and dangerous ways. Use your |
| 24 |
own Judgment, Luke. |
