This also seems like it'd be most in keeping with the Gentoo > Social Contract. As the developer whom was first bitten by the licensing issues, I would have to agree. Only the "free" licenses should be accepted by default.=20 However, I also think that some form of logic and code needs to be added to portage to add better support for this variable. I think that once a user has accepted the license, it should be added to his list of accepted licenses automatically. I understand that this isn't something that would happen overnight, but it is definitely something that should happen as far as I am concerned. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Developer, Gentoo Linux Games Team Is your power animal a pengiun? --=-6HSCHWRoKKGcs8ymzaV3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/vmaQkT4lNIS36YERAkGuAKCYh2cf67T/bD0Q/zkaaNXbp9bmqgCeIK7q lr8M1yr+aqERLzNwYP5qWUM= =n/M2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-6HSCHWRoKKGcs8ymzaV3--
