-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I don't really see removing software from the tree because it's made by a company that uses software patents as a choice that improves the user experience with Gentoo. It doesn't make Gentoo more useful for anyone. Just as software thats not open source is in the tree, so should software that is pushed by companies that some people may not support also be kept in the tree. Not using software from companies that you do not support is as always an end-user choice, if users demand and implement a system to make that choice ( ACCEPT_LICENSE glep ), then that is their perogative(sp?).
