Description Clock 2006-01-09 03:00:05 UTC
Every newcomer that comes to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml?catid=upgrade
has to read this information, which is the least relevant one to the thing he's
looking for.
This should be by small print somewhere in a footer and not the first thing one
reads under the headline.
The user comes with a desire to get answer to his question - how do I do thing
XXX - and doesn't care about what licence the website is. This is wasting
time of lots of users and distracting them from reading the documentation.

I suggest this to be removed.

I use this page for years and never considered an information about the license, about where to report bugs and about those who maintain documentation as useless. I think it's very relevant and users should know this.
Thanks for reporting, but i think it has to stay the way it's now.
