Uh, this is just an algorithm:
# grep LICENSE /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware-20190118.ebuild
LICENSE="linux-firmware ( BSD ISC MIT no-source-code ) GPL-2 GPL-2+ freedist"

I won't reproduce here, but you can:
# grep OSI /usr/portage/profiles/license_groups
# grep FSF/usr/portage/profiles/license_groups

If anything in the ebuild license isn't in those groups, then this
policy change would block them by default, on stage3s and minimal CDs.
