I am a developer for the last 3 weeks and i had to sign a not where i |
| 14 |
say all work i submit must be covered by GPL-2 . So if we where to |
| 15 |
charge for access nothing could be done to keep people from legally |

Kurt's idea of charging for premium servers might be better, but only on |
| 19 |
the day that Gentoo pay's for the hosting/bandwidth of it's servers, and |

right now we are a sponsored project. |

Maybe lisa's idea of "please remember the paypal sponsor link" is |
