How to disable portage LICENSE checks Whenever I install a package with an EULA, portage asks me to add it to `package.license`: The following license changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.license" in the portage(5) man page for more details) #required by chrome-binary-plugins (argument) >=www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins-9999 google-chrome #required by google-chrome (argument) >=www-client/google-chrome-26.0.1410.40_beta189199:beta google-chrome Since I don't read the licence anyway and portage isn't even asking me to do so, I'd like to globally disable this check. How to do that?

Which licenses portage accepts is governed by the `ACCEPT_LICENSE` variable in `make.conf`. This variable is the counterpart to `package.license` the same way `USE` is to `package.use`, `ACCEPT_KEYWORDS` to `package.keywords`, etc.. By default, this variable is set to `@FREE`, which means "only accept all licenses in the `FREE` set". This set contains all licenses that require the user to accept them. In order to be able to install all packages without additional license-related prompts, just add the following line to `/etc/portage/make.conf`:


ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"


Conversely, you could also block out all non-free packages with `ACCEPT_LICENSE="@FREE"`, or choose any other combination of licenses you like. See `/usr/portage/profiles/license_groups` for details
