There is other non-Free software you can install with Portage. Just yesterday I was looking at games-fps/ut2003 and games-fps/ut2004 - I believe these require the game's installer CDs to work. I would imagine that if you were to emerge ICC it would require an activation key before it would compile anything, otherwise we'd all be using it. Stroller.
