Hi List!

I was wondering -- is there a way to find out which of the licenses
in /usr/portage/licenses can be considered free software licenses
(without having to read and understand them)?

I'm trying to find out what packages I have installed that cannot be
considered free, and while it's easy to get a list of the licenses in
use, that in itself is pretty useless without knowing anything about the
licenses.

Btw., shouldn't portage have some kind of flag to at least warn if a
proprietary package is being pulled in through dependencies? I just
discovered that I have realplayer installed, which was pulled in by
mplayer.
