What I do in that circumstance, if I agree with the
license, would be something like:
echo ACCEPTABLE_LICENSE+=fee-based-commercial-use >>
/etc/mk.conf

And go on my merry way. If you accept that license,
then you add it to the mk.conf file and it won't ask
you again. 

Maybe I'm missing something?
