Hello,

During the end of any successful portage operation, I get the following messages about licenses:

You can fix that by adding ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" or ACCEPT_LICENSE="dlj-1.1" if you do not want to automatically accept all licenses to your make.conf file.

ISHAIM,

Gentoo now allows you to manage your system using software licences.
Your dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.15 was installed before this feature was in portage.

make.conf has a new variable ACCEPT_LICENSE which allows you to control which licences you will accept globally.
There is also a /etc/portage/package.license file which gives you per package control.

See man make.conf and man portage.

What you need to do depends on how you want to manage licences.

And where can I see wich licenses are accepted by default?

Maybe it would be handier if someone creates an eselect plugin for this?
Something like

Well, remember what one of the Open-Source Movement's founding fathers had once said:

I concur, if it matters.

EDIT: And now, 2.6.31-r10 sources & portage 2.1.7.17, it works again!

Come on people, we are all hackers, if you are using Gentoo then you are a Hacker like it or not.

You had to mildly hack the OS to get it installed or at least some part of it. Accept license wow "*" YES you clearly have not read it so is it really legaly binding lol.

Who gives a crap frankly, i mean what could possible terms and conditions do to affect your everyday life? What kind of spying could they possibly do that is made legal by terms and conditions, License or any other part of it for that matter.

If you spot an offending code then remove it, then crack the source of that code, release the truth and destroy the person who made it. Sounds like fun to me, No stupid terms and condition, license agreement will make any difference to all this for the end user.

Its all used in a big corporate company playing field and has nothing to do with ordinary people. Most accept the terms of Apple and M$ now that is seriously messed up. Still dont stop you hacking the crap out of this binary software junk. iTunes deserves to be hacked the crap out of it. What do they expect, restrict the user and the user will break out, JailBreaker baby, lets get it on.

So just run riot, who cares, not me. Mr Law firm cares but not the people so .!.. to them and lets enjoy hacking more software.

We need a feature to search and find binary blobs in code simply, that is a good idea. What use is a program if we dont use it lol. That said we can easy hack it and build an alternative simple enough, ish'ish :p If you are going to tell me that all this is illegal well, what planet you on. Legislation saves lives, Law is just something that has always existed, created by mother nature so to tell me that i can not use my computer as i wish due to some license is stupid to say the least.

Who is pissed yet with my "Does this face

look bothered"

When these companies start fully respecting people and their freedom then i will see the need to respect there's, until then they can kiss my tee-hiny. accepting a license means nothing. The built in DRM on my ISP's router using GNU code is stopping me from flashing in my own firmware and i am supposed to take their terms conditions, license seriously. Hell no, hack away people, enjoy.
