| 391 | <p>At a minimum, emerge must handle unaccepted licenses the same way that |
407 | <p>Unaccepted licenses will be treated like any other masked package, that is |
| 392 | it handles blockers. That is, with the --pretend flag the |
408 | emerge will display a message listing any license that has to be accepted |
| 393 | not-yet-accepted license should be listed in the output. Without the |

| 395 | <p>This GLEP proposes that, unlike blockers, dependencies for software |
411 | like blockers, but this would be inconsistent with other visibility |
| 396 | should be checked regardless of license acceptance. Doing so will allow |
412 | filters as well as the current blocker system (as a blocker affects two |
| 397 | the user to review all necessary licenses before initiating an actual |
413 | packages) and be more complicated to implement.</p> |

|

| 400 | license and ask for acceptance, but not update any configuration files |
|

| 401 | at this stage. Finally, the --verbose option should also list the |
