I would like to point the community at the following bug
https://bugs.gentoo.org/676248:
Bug 676248 - non-free licenses are accepted without user prompt
In summary the question is whether non-free licenses should be accepted
by default in Gentoo. today only licenses requiring EULA are not
accepted by default. So this is a good opportunity to discuss whether we
should deviate substantially from other distros like Debian.
My personal opinion is we should have a default accepting FSF and OSI
approved free/libre licenses and require acceptance for anything else
though package.license / ACCEPT_LICENSE. Since we have this model
already we don't need a separate repository like debian does for its
binary packages, so any change has relatively minor impact on our users
as long as it is presented properly and with a proper timeline.
