Hmm, maybe we should implement a keyword in the ebuild that tells people under what licence a package is distributed. That way, it would be easy for the user to check and avoid non-Free-as-in-Stallman software if they were that way inclined.
I propose that we call this keyword 'LICENSE' (US spelling seems to be policy...), add it to every ebuild and make repoman check that it's there.
Oh, wait...
I mean, if they did there would be an ACCEPT_LICENSE setting scheduled to be implemented in make.conf to do exactly what this guy wants. But no...that would be too easy...
*heavy sigh*
Ah well. We can always dream, eh?
