I like the idea with one exception: |

Why not make the ebuild ask for confirmation? Would work with versioned licenses |
| 19 |
(for example: txt-licenses/wierd-license-2.1 and |
| 20 |
txt-licenses/wierd-license-2.999 - both would require ACK). Breaks portage in a |
| 21 |
way it's interactive, but it's already happening in few ebuilds |
| 22 |
(eutils.eclass::check_license()). |
