Well, I for one would rather not give a user the option to screw themselves to this magnitude with a simple "emerge cdrtools". There's people that aren't reading this list, and aren't going to know what's going on. It's unfair to them. > Same rule as the binary kernel modules situation. The only way I see this similar is if the kernel actually had subdirectories containing said binary modules. We have an alternative stated [1]. I think we need to focus more on the problems of using the alternative, then dealing with what some consider to be a rather sketchy legal dispute.
