Yes, but as long as choice of core components and infrastructure is
free one. Read Gentoo Social Contract:

https://www.gentoo.org/get-started/philosophy/social-contract.html

"However, Gentoo will never depend upon a piece of software or
metadata unless it conforms to the GNU General Public License, the
GNU Lesser General Public License, the Creative Commons -
Attribution/Share Alike or some other license approved by the Open
Source Initiative (OSI)."

What actually happens now is that several individual are trying to
undermine this concept and to tie Gentoo to the proprietary
metadata. And some point this dependence will become irreversible.
It is a pain for me to see that several developers under disguise of
"community" and "integration" are trying hard to make that happen,
step by step.
