I suggest to print the full path to patents.txt, so that the user does not have to search or read the ebuild code. * USE="bindist" was not set. Potentially patent encumbered code was * enabled. Please see patents.txt for an explanation.
Feel free to commit a fix (and make sure to fix mesa-9999.ebuild).
