Actually an argument for leaving the name as-is. Then you have Gentoo |
| 7 |
Linux, Gentoo Hurd, etc. depending on the kernel that you are booting. |

Nothing wrong with this, you can copyright a unique collection without |
| 20 |
violating the copyrights of the individual components. Think of a book |
| 21 |
of short stories. Each of the stories is copyrighted and the book has |
| 22 |
copyrighted that selection and order of short stories. |
