This forces the "unRAR" LICENSE on p7zip, as opposed to the Lesser GPL:

        app-arch/p7zip ebuild:
        LICENSE="LGPL-2.1 rar? ( unRAR )"

Unfortunately, as [1] describes, this licence is non-free and GPL-incompatible.
The full text is at `$(q -Ce PORTDIR)/licenses/unRAR`, for your viewing
displeasure.
