Hi No, I don't think that's the agenda. but if it were... You can take an approach similar to debian simply put them in a "non-free" folder in portage, possibly put a banner on the ebuild informing the user tha it's "non-free" ??? I am not arguing just making a point, I like the way gentoo is at the moment.
