Please write a canonical version of the LICENSE policy as it regards packages with static linking. It should cover: - Languages that generate inherently static binaries (Go, Rust) - USE=static binaries that link in libraries from DEPEND - USE=static binaries that link in bundled libraries
It should also include the unofficial enforcement so far has been stricter on the inherently static languages with bundles vs C-based non-bundled libraries.
I'll draft something in a few minutes.
