I remember reading something about an ACCEPT_LICENSE feature
that would allow one to add something like:

ACCEPT_LICENSES="@OSI-APPROVED"

in their /etc/make.conf and it would use only OSI-approved
licenses (GPL-2, MPL, LGPL, etc.). Just to satiate my curiosity,
Is this going to be implemented in Gentoo or Portage any time soon?

Thanx.

The GLEP is mostly done and half-approved. The details on the grouping 
mechanism still need to be worked out and approved. The next step at the 
moment is to add a repoman check on the LICENSE ebuild variable syntax. When 
the tree is clean and the grouping aspects approved, the functionality will 
be added to emerge.

Regards,
Jason Stubbs

No.

/me ducks

I really hope this does go in sometime soon, so I can remove the hackish
check_license function from the ebuilds that require it.

Speaking of which... I just fixed check_license so it accepts multiple
licenses in ACCEPT_LICENSE (basically, it works now).
