You have encouraged gentoo to remove patent-encoumbered software from portage. I'd like to see you personally work with only software that does not contain any patented work. > I applaud Gentoo's > efforts in displaying the banners, but so long as Gentoo continues to > assist and advertise for the very companies who are pushing for > software patents, I do not see it as a particularly credible protest. > Would it not be better to avoid becoming involved in the issue > entirely if one is not prepared to back up a cute little banner with > actual actions? > Gentoo has made no such efforts. Some developers have taken it upon themselves to make their feelings heard.
