You can set the licenses you consider free enough, and it will only install software which fit that.

Now, my partner at work is installing it as the base system on his workstation, so I’m going to have to give it a try in a VM on my box.

However, you know me. I’m not crazy about all the closed-source proprietary stuff. Is there a way to install completely Free Software, as defined by the FSF in Gentoo? Video, audio, etc drivers, as well as just plain packages?
