You hit the nail right on the head. The ability to base a product or |
| 10 |
project on Gentoo technologies is in my opinion one of the greatest |
| 11 |
strengths of Gentoo being a metadistribution. I could form umpteen |
| 12 |
business ventures and create products based upon Gentoo technologies |
| 13 |
because *that is what the infrastructure is precisely meant for*. |

Look at gentoogames, and how well it demonstrates that Gentoo can do |
| 16 |
more than just be a Linux distribution. |

A fork is just a way to put your name on it. I've been around BSD |
| 19 |
developers too long not to know it's about clashing ego. |
