<title>Want to be listed on this page?</title>
<body>

<p>
For vendor listing on this page, Gentoo requires that you sell our media 
at no "profit" as described by the GPL (reasonable cost to cover 
expenses) or make an agreement with Gentoo for the listing. That 
agreement could be one where you donate some amount to Gentoo or could 
be free, at Gentoo's discretion. Vendors supporting open source will be 
considered heavily for free listing. We do not list commercial vendors 
who do not give back to Gentoo because we already have a Gentoo store. 
If you are making a profit, contact the <mail 
link="trustees@gentoo.org">Gentoo foundation</mail> to negotiate an 
agreement.
