We already have the BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE group. So, if you just set |
| 9 |
ACCEPT_LICENSE=@BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE you'll only get packages you |
| 10 |
can redistribute. Then you can just set ACCEPT_LICENSE=FOO in |
| 11 |
/etc/portage/env for packages you are handling with USE=-bindist or |
| 12 |
whatever. |

Sure, it might be a little nicer to have a bit more automation, but |
| 15 |
the existing license group lets you set things conservatively so |
| 16 |
you'll never be burned by accidentally redistributing something you |
| 17 |
can't. I'd be interested in hearing from anybody who actually has the |
| 18 |
need to redistribute things and thinks that this is insufficient. |
