e.g on my laptop (all of my systems have similar setups already) which |
| 10 |
has ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE -AGPL-3 -AGPL-3+ freedist ", the exception |
| 11 |
list still only are has |
| 12 |
# cat /etc/portage/package.license/*|wc -l |
| 13 |

... of which 4 entries are related to AGPL and as such wouldn't really |
| 15 |
be relevant for the proposed change. and that is a full desktop (laptop) |
| 16 |
system, most systems have far less. In terms of linux-firmware, it |
| 17 |
requires a simple two entries |
| 18 |
sys-kernel/linux-firmware linux-firmware no-source-code |
| 19 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources linux-firmware |
