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

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

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