Even assuming you have multiple versions of such a license, the user can |
| 15 |
still unmask specific versions in case he really agrees with one version |
| 16 |
but not another. If he unmasks just the package, then you can take that |
| 17 |
as a "he's fine with all of them". The reasoning for doing it this way |
| 18 |
is that merges should really be non-interactive wherever possible. Sure, |
| 19 |
there are a few exeptions, but they should be kept as rarely as |
| 20 |
possible, and avoiding it IS possible in this case. |
