I don't see how anybody would argue to remove such packages from portage. |
| 13 |
Their presense doesn't do anything until they are actually installed. |
| 14 |
My preference for license defaults requires adding a single line with an alias |
| 15 |
to make.conf for *both* users who want only free software and users who want |
| 16 |
anything... |
| 17 |
In addition, in the Windows world, the administrators need to go to the |
| 18 |
trouble to click the Accept button on the license agreements whenever they |
| 19 |
install software. Not much more complicated than saying 'yes' to the license |
| 20 |
when emerging (interactively). |
