As software licenses seem to be so popular to talk about on gentoo-dev how 
about this one.

Marijn mentioned on Irc that the bestcrypt license commercial trial license 
shouldn't be a supported package in Gentoo.

Seeking further there is more....

Other licenses with a free time limited evaluation that are supported in 
Gentoo portage:
ALMWorks-1.2
Arkkra
OTN
RAR

BestCrypt is similar:
"BestCrypt for Linux is distributed as software with 30 days evaluation 
period. After evaluation period expired, the user has to either pay for 
his/her copy of BestCrypt software for Linux or uninstall it. (see  End User 
License Agreement.)"

Is there a need for official policy here (and a bit of package removals)?
