11 Uh, this is just an algorithm:
12 # grep LICENSE /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware-20190118.ebuild
13 LICENSE="linux-firmware ( BSD ISC MIT no-source-code ) GPL-2 GPL-2+ freedist"
14
15 I won't reproduce here, but you can:
16 # grep OSI /usr/portage/profiles/license_groups
17 # grep FSF/usr/portage/profiles/license_groups
18
19 If anything in the ebuild license isn't in those groups, then this
20 policy change would block them by default, on stage3s and minimal CDs.
