| 15 | I've updated the latest net-wireless/broadcom-sta ebuild with this |
| 16 | change [1], since that's the only ebuild that I had installed with |
| 17 | PROPERTIES=interactive. Please do the same for any other ebuilds where |
| 18 | you notice that check_license is the only reason for |
| 19 | PROPERTIES=interactive being set. |
