If I'm out of line here, somebody slap me. That being said, You don't really need permission to link to to the Gentoo website. If you really want to be anal-retentive about being letter-perfect to the intellectual property laws, swift maintains a standard boilerplate at <http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/name-logo.xml>. Therein, you shall find all the dry details about what our legal system considers appropriate use. On the other hand, if you don't care a whit about all that rubbish, I don't think anybody at Gentoo will object to that blurb you quoted. In any case, I suspect that tacking ™ symbols on the end of every mention of Gentoo will suffice to keep you clean. IANAL. I am probably wrong in many strange and dangerous ways.
