Thanks for the correction. The latter (not paid /by/ /Gentoo/) is what I meant by "directly". If they are paid by some third party to work on Gentoo, that's an entirely different (and rightly private) matter, which I would have classified as "indirectly". I had thought that was apparent from the context (where I discussed that possibility), but it seems not so much. Anyway, we both agree Chris's statement is the case. Again, thanks for the clarification. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
