whats the point i cant get the same crap from /dev/random |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
sarcasm aside considering its just an ebuild that points to the source |
| 18 |
which could be not hosted on gentoo mirrors and the LICENCE bit |
| 19 |
is to notify the user ahead of time what the licence is and, |
| 20 |
assuming the functionality was there, allow said user to ignore |
| 21 |
all applications that use that licence type but since that isnt there |
| 22 |
it could be anything and it doesnt really matter now does it? |
