In my use case that clause isn't a real problem since it's being used on a server. > I.e., if you install the software on your computer, you're not allowed > to travel with it.

And the ebuild needs mirror restriction, at least. right, @EULA is what I meant (instead of NON-FREE). Since you're not allowed to redistribute I already restricted fetch, mirror & bindist in the corresponding ebuild. What is interesting is that they even make you agree to that EULA for their updated aacraid drivers which are based on the in-kernel drivers. I suspect a GPL violation here... > "Adaptec" was previously used for a different license: > http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/licenses/Adaptec?view=markup > So better choose another name to avoid confusion. good point, will go for ADAPTEC then instead
