I have a copy of every license used in the portage tree already in /usr/portage/licenses - why dup that again? We already have an existing LICENSE keywording in the ebuilds, why not just focus on patching portage to allow a make.conf variable for allowed licenses and block based on that? -- -----o()o---------------------------------------------- Michael Cummings | #gentoo-dev, #gentoo-perl Gentoo Perl Dev | on irc.freenode.net Gentoo/SPARC Gentoo/AMD64 GPG: 0543 6FA3 5F82 3A76 3BF7 8323 AB5C ED4E 9E7F 4E2E -----o()o---------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
