Thanks. That wasn't clear from the original. Good to make it explicit (as you have now several times). =:^) > I think Duncan's point is that in the Social Contract it talks about how > Gentoo should only rely on open source software. Well, that, and the simple assumption that every dev had no objection to a gmail account. If the point had been made then (as made now) that read- only is available without, and that those without (thereby recognizing the possibility) could ask another dev... But that was taken care of with my original post and other followups, so it's pretty much resolved. > The question is does > this apply to our 'product' or does it apply to everything.

A reasonable enough way to proceed, yes. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
