I just added sci-mathematics/bertini to the tree. I talked to the upstream developers the other day and their main concern is somebody taking the code and making money with it. Another concern is that changed versions of the source code may give incorrect results and ruin their reputation. I personally would say that the GPL would protect them, but in the end it is their choice. They assured me that the relation to distributions is a friendly one and they welcome bug reports and patches upstream. Cheers, Thomas -- Thomas Kahle
