I'm doing all of my testing with net-wireless/broadcom-sta. package.license seems to unmask the package which otherwise won't emerge. ACCEPT_LICENSE does negate the need manually accept the license. So they seem to perform different functions. skype will still emerge without package.license? Maybe there's a difference in the license which is responsible for the different behavior? - Grant
