12 Can we have USE-deps inside the LICENSE block then?
13
14 LICENSE="GPL-2 BSD BSD-2 BSD-4 ... !libre-free? ( other-blob-licenses )"
15
16 And test with:
17 ACCEPT_LICENSES="-* @FSF-APPROVED"
18 To see that the package is selected.
19
20 P.S.
21 Those scripts very over-zealous. They remove even firmware marked explicitly
22 with GPL-2/BSD-2 licenses and having source available.
23
24 The other advantage for the libre-free crowd is not even downloading tarballs
25 that contain "tainted" materials in their eyes.
