Gentoo has a social contract [1] which makes a lot of noise about free |
5 |
software. |
6 |
However our default settings allow to use almost any kind of non-free |
7 |
license such as "all-rights-reserved". |
8 |
|
9 |
While I see nothing wrong with gentoo providing proprietary stuff (and |
10 |
I have created a lot of such games ebuilds), I think according to our |
11 |
philsophy and social contract we should make people aware of free |
12 |
software and because of that also change the default to: |
13 |
|
14 |
ACCEPT_LICENSE="@FREE" |
15 |
|
16 |
This is only about the _default_. |
17 |
We will have to change the handbook at "1.d. Licenses" [2] and might |
18 |
also make a news item. |
