Fair enough. I think of it as a way to ask "what is this thing going to do?". We could compromise and say that it should have a non-zero exit code, but not print the same message (or do any license printing). > Another thing to keep in mind is that we've talked about dry-run > performing the download caching step and would the transfer of package > data require acceptance of the license before install could proceed or > would license acceptance be after the download phase? No idea. That sounds like an excellent question to spend a couple weeks getting a useful answer out of a lawyer. ;-) My preference would be that it should ask at install time, not download time. Particularly since if someone is obsessive enough to install a package by hand out of the download cache, they can also download the package by hand. Or hack the commands to ignore the license.
