Just a moment.

It may be a good idea to create a GNU tools are purely optional, and therefore there is no technical reason why these, as 3rd party software, shouldn't go into /opt. Furthermore, putting any 3rd party SW in any location other than /opt violates SVR4 and Sun's standards. Even further down the road, a fine example is the HP-UX operating system, and there is something to be learned from him in this particular case. All the HP-UX porting archives, which are 3rd party groups that have nothing to do with hp, have been putting all the 3rd party SW into /opt. Now that's DISCIPLINE! Outstanding! I seriously doubt there is any reason not to put anything non-Sun into /opt. That's what /opt is for! The question is not whether non-Sun stuff should be put into /opt, but -- why not?
