11 Probably easier to just cancel the emerge in that case and let them try
12 a new emerge command without the offending software. Otherwise you have
13 to deal with the fact that you might be removing stuff from the list
14 that satisfies a dependency for something else, etc.

16 My personal preference would be simply to fail the emerge, similar to
17 when packages are masked. The error message would indicate the license
18 missing from ACCEPT_LICENSES.
