[SOLVED] Use always GPL software

Hi
Is there any way to use only GPL software from the portage? I don't want install other type of software, and maybe I do it without notice it.
Thank you.

There is a GLEP about that:

Ok, but at this time I can't use it, isn't it?
Sorry, but I didn't understand the text very good, maybe because is English.
And by the way, I have no idea what is a GLEP and I didn't find it in google.
Thank you.

GLEP stantds for Gentoo Linux Extension Proposal, these are documents for substantially enhancing Gentoo Linux. And you are right, this support for licenses is work in progress.

Well, you can try this script to check for installed packages that don't fit your license requirements.

Thank you very much!
The Gentoo support is excellent, the best I have ever seen.
Great forum, thank you.
