Hi, Top posting since last one did.
Question. Why are these license discussions being done on a USER list instead of a DEVELOPER list? Gentoo has mailing lists that are to be used for this sort of topic. How about taking them there? Here is a link with them listed. https://gentoo.org/get-involved/mailing-lists/all-lists.html I would suggest gentoo-project since it is not moderated and this is not a technical topic. Best wishes.
