Yeah, that won't work. spender and PaX team have made the experience
that if they publish their code under whatever license, some tech
companies will come along and use the code without giving a shit about
said license. That's one of the reasons why the 'stable' grsec patch
series, as well as their git repository, hadn't been public for quite a
while even before they made the decision to stop publishing code
altogether.

@Bob: The Gentoo Hardened project is aware of minipli's efforts, but it
has been decided not to make his tree available as an ebuild
in ::gentoo for now.

Since all a kernel ebuild does is to dump the sources in /usr/src, it
doesn't make much of a difference anyway, but if someone wants to
create an ebuild in their overlay, they're of course welcome to do so.

Regards,
Luis
