10 I agree. Is the BSD mess where some binaries had LICENSE="BSD"
11 cleared up? If not these will still be pulled in with @FREE, even if
12 they are obviously nonfree. This will have to be documented (or
13 preferably just fixed).

15 Additionally I think the about[0] or the philosophy[1] page should
16 mention *what* free software is and *why* the user should care.
17 Presently they only say that Gentoo *is* and *uses* free software.
18 This foregoes a chance to educate the user on free software.
