That's odd. You say that ACCEPT_LICENSE negates the need to manually
accept the license, yet package.license does not? You should file a
bug about this: per 'man portage'
package.license
This will allow ACCEPT_LICENSE to be augmented for a sin‐
gle package.
Format:
- comment lines begin with # (no inline comments)
- one DEPEND atom per line followed by additional licenses or groups
I read this to mean that they should behave the same way.
The design philosophy of ACCEPT_LICENSE vs package.license seems to be the same
as ACCEPT_KEYWORD vs package.keyword ...
Curious.
