1. Various core Gentoo things which you might be modifying are |
| 9 |
covered by the GPL. |

|

2. Various packages have licences which prohibit either redistributing |
| 12 |
the source, or redistributing the package in binary form, or |
| 13 |
redistributing a modified package in binary form. |
| 14 |
|

3. Some packages have weird trademark restrictions to do with shipping |
| 16 |
modified binaries. Anything Mozillaish comes to mind... |
