BSD licence allows any fork to be created with any other licence, so a BSD project can have a GPL fork. I didn't thought about changing Portage itself simply because I don't know if the changes are welcome to Gentoo itself, probably more a Gentoo server project. But if that is a possibility I have no problems with GPL. Ricardo Loureiro -- http://pgp.dei.uc.pt:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6B7C0EC0
