15 I am personally of the stance that we should by default have something
16 like
17 ACCEPT_LICENSES="osi-approved nonfree"
18
19 Where the nonfree alias includes all licenses that are now accepted by
20 default (So everything but those licenses that explicitly need to be
21 enabled). I don't think that a * can be provided for those that need
22 explicit confirmation as it would defeat the idea of explicit
23 confirmation.
