I don't see how anybody would argue to remove such packages from portage. 
Their presense doesn't do anything until they are actually installed.
My preference for license defaults requires adding a single line with an alias 
to make.conf for *both* users who want only free software and users who want 
anything...
In addition, in the Windows world, the administrators need to go to the 
trouble to click the Accept button on the license agreements whenever they 
install software. Not much more complicated than saying 'yes' to the license 
when emerging (interactively).
