Ahh! Yes, I had forgotten about that file. Thank you Alan. |

I was following http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0023.html and the |
| 29 |
ACCEPT_LICENSE directive in make.conf as a way of managing licenses, but then |
| 30 |
I found an entry about skype in package.license. Hmm ... I wonder who put |
| 31 |
that in there ... :-) |

I think this warning confused me because it installed the package and *then* |
| 34 |
it issued a warning about the license. Usually the warning comes before, |
| 35 |
requiring user input before it continues with the installation. |
