License and EULA is the same for most users and it's exactly the same
for ebuilds/portage.
I don't get your point. check_license() is used to print the license
(it's probably only used for EULA's actually) and wait for user approval
before resume the merge process. The printed license is the license from
LICENSE var.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood something.
