LICENSE is not informational so we have to deal with it and as GLEP-23 has an issue, we should fix it. I know even with this feature building a free-only system with ACCEPT_LICENSE will not be easy but the tree cleaning or anything else is a next step. Let's focus on what we can do now and what I propose is clearly doable and it will not break anything.
