Why not make a definitive proposal so that the council doesn't just have 
to figure one out on the fly - that will probably lead to faster closure 
(and give people something to throw darts at if they hate it).  Here is 
a suggestion:

Default is ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA".

My intent isn't to divert the discussion into this thread (everybody who 
cares is reading the other one I'm sure).  However, the basic point is 
to propose one thing and then let everybody throw stones at it, so that 
they know what will happen if they don't complain.  If you word it 
appropriately nobody will be offended that you're proposing a solution.

Then the council can just look at the list and see no big flamewars and 
just approve it, rather than debating what it should actually be.

Also - I wouldn't consider it a negative thing that your proposal hasn't 
gotten as many replies as glep55.  You have proposed a small and 
(mostly) well-defined change to gentoo and if nobody complains then we 
should run with it!
