You have an instruction from portage that starts with IMPORTANT, and |
| 16 |
tells you where to learn how to do what it asks. Generally, when portage |
| 17 |
talks to you like this, you should take notice. |

Portage does not overwrite config files in /etc, instead it creates a |
| 20 |
temporary file containing the new version so that you can manage the |
| 21 |
changes with etc-update or equivalent. Your licence file changes have |
| 22 |
been handled in this way and it is up to you to complete the final step |
| 23 |
to apply those changes. |
