There's no point in reading *anything* else below here, because you've made one BIG assumption. We *do* pay taxes. When $company hires me to do work for them, I fill out a W-9. This means that *I* am an independent contractor and *I* am responsible for paying the taxes on my income. Gentoo has nothing to do with it. All liabilities are on the individual and the company. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
