Currently profiles does not allow using per-package license unmasking.
The only solution is the LICENSE variable, which apply to all the packages.
What would be the application for this? I understand package.license
in user configuration, but why would we ever want to unmask nonfree
per-package licenses in profiles?
My goal is to create my own custom profile to use the same set of
packages, version, use between my laptop and my desktop.
I have some non-free packages (linux-firmware, Saleae, intel-microcode),
so for me that make sense to have a package.license file in the profile.
For information, I also opened a pull request on Codeberg [1] because I
wasn’t sure if the mailing list was active.
