+<p>
+Beginning with Portage version 2.1.7, you can accept or reject software
+installation based on its license. All packages in the tree contain a
+<c>LICENSE</c> entry in their ebuilds. Running <c>emerge --search
+packagename</c> will tell you the package's license.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+By default, Portage permits all licenses, except End User License Agreements
+(EULAs) that require reading and signing an acceptance agreement.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The variable that controls permitted licenses is <c>ACCEPT_LICENSE</c>, which
+can be set in <path>/etc/make.conf</path>:
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="Default ACCEPT_LICENSE in /etc/make.conf">
+ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA"
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+With this configuration, packages that require interaction during installation
+to approve their EULA <e>will not</e> be installed. Packages without an EULA
+<e>will</e> be installed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can set <c>ACCEPT_LICENSE</c> globally in <path>/etc/make.conf</path>, or
+you can specify it on a per-package basis in
+<path>/etc/portage/package.license</path>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, if you want to allow the <c>truecrypt-2.7</c> license for
+<c>app-crypt/truecrypt</c>, add the following to
+<path>/etc/portage/package.license</path>:
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="Specifying a truecrypt license in package.license">
+app-crypt/truecrypt truecrypt-2.7
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+This permits installation of truecrypt versions that have the
+<c>truecrypt-2.7</c> license, but not versions with the <c>truecrypt-2.8</c>
+license.
+</p>
+
+<impo>
+Licenses are stored in <path>/usr/portage/licenses</path>, and license groups
+are kept in <path>/usr/portage/license_groups</path>. The first entry of each
+line in CAPITAL letters is the name of the license group, and every entry after
+that is an individual license.
+</impo>
+
+<p>
+License groups defined in <c>ACCEPT_LICENSE</c> are prefixed with an <b>@</b>
+sign. Here's an example of a system that globally permits the GPL-compatible
+license group, as well as a few other groups and individual licenses:
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="ACCEPT_LICENSE in /etc/make.conf">
+ACCEPT_LICENSE="@GPL-COMPATIBLE @OSI-APPROVED @EULA atheros-hal BitstreamVera"
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If you want only free software and documentation on your system, you might use
+the following setup:
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="Use only free licenses">
+ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE"
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+In this case, "free" is mostly defined by the <uri
+link="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">FSF</uri> and <uri
+link="http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd">OSI</uri>. Any package whose license
+does not meet these requirements will not be installed on your system.
