You have encouraged gentoo to remove patent-encoumbered software from |
| 9 |
portage. I'd like to see you personally work with only software that |
| 10 |
does not contain any patented work. |

Gentoo has made no such efforts. Some developers have taken it upon |
| 22 |
themselves to make their feelings heard. For those that don't |

instinctively realise that planet.gentoo.org agregates stuff writen by |
| 24 |
individuals, the following notice is at the bottom of the page: |
