Can we get some statistical data on this? I hear people swear both ways that either "more people use only free software" or "more people use any licensed" software. My $0.02 is that if this gets implemented, it should be put in so that the default behavior is like portage is now, and if you choose to restrict yourself to only free software or other licensing scheme, you can make the necessary changes yourself. Otherwise you will have a ton of users asking "why can't i emerge package foo?", or filing bugs because of this, etc. >From a support perspective, if this gets implemented, I'm forwarding all of these questions, bugs, etc to the "free and only free" software folks. Please dont' take away one "freedom" for another. Cheers, -- Jason Wever Gentoo/Sparc Team Co-Lead
