8 This doesn't make sense to me. I have a copy of every license used in
9 the portage tree already in /usr/portage/licenses - why dup that again?
10 We already have an existing LICENSE keywording in the ebuilds, why not
11 just focus on patching portage to allow a make.conf variable for allowed
12 licenses and block based on that?
