While this has a novel approach to the problem (at least, I haven't seen |
| 12 |
anything else that tries to solve the LICENSE issue this way), the existing GLEP |
| 13 |
23 really does have a much simpler solution. And in this case, the KISS |
| 14 |
principle should apply. Rather than adding more stuff to ebuilds or multiple new |
| 15 |
directories to the user's system, it's a lot easier to just use existing LICENSE |
| 16 |
info and a single line in make.conf to specify what's allowed. |

'Course, easier and simpler still don't mean that it's been done yet. *shrug* |
| 19 |
IIRC, the other two alternative package managers have implemented it in some |
| 20 |
form -- why not take a look at how they did it to see if there are any good |
| 21 |
technical solutions (or ideas) present. Or maybe offer a bounty of some sort to |
| 22 |
the first person that comes up with the patch for Portage. |
