This makes more sense. Thank you for clarifying. |

Alas, I do not want Gentoo to have anything with this either. Postal² |
| 17 |
is a proprietary game, so I assume this is proprietary as well. |

This is a job for abandonware sites. I'm sure several would be |
| 20 |
sympathetic to this. And of course you can do this privately -- as can |
| 21 |
anyone else. I don't mean to discourage the efforts to keep orphaned |
| 22 |
works available. Here, I am merely opposing to Gentoo distributing |
| 23 |
proprietary software. |
