8 How many of those -bin packages are GPL? I'm sure there's a few, but I
9 can't think of a single one.
10
11 Also, we don't have pre-compiled packages in the tree. We have ebuilds
12 that pull down pre-compiled packages. That's easily fixable with a
13 RESTRICT=mirror for the few that are GPL and binary.
14
15 ...and then I decided to actually look at the one package that I thought
16 about, and it's mplayer-bin, though we do provide those sources, since
17 it is just the mplayer ebuild compiled, and we have the sources for the
18 source-based ebuild already.
