Here is a suggestion: Default is ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA". My intent isn't to divert the discussion into this thread (everybody who cares is reading the other one I'm sure). However, the basic point is to propose one thing and then let everybody throw stones at it, so that they know what will happen if they don't complain. If you word it appropriately nobody will be offended that you're proposing a solution. Then the council can just look at the list and see no big flamewars and just approve it, rather than debating what it should actually be. Also - I wouldn't consider it a negative thing that your proposal hasn't gotten as many replies as glep55. You have proposed a small and (mostly) well-defined change to gentoo and if nobody complains then we should run with it!
