Hello,

This is a question about the debian installation mechanism.

Linaro is all about Open Source, but must be able to manage closed
source binaries from member companies. Typically h/w packs.

Some legal depts. requires a conscious action as proof of acceptance
of the license. This produces various technical problems in
automation, e.g. update management or creation of images because the
software scripts that updates or create images are not conscious :)

The Snowball s/w design team decided to use the debian mechanism for
license acceptance of h/w-pack binaries, so there are pop-ups when you
run Linaro-Media-Create.

Here's the problem:

When Validation creates new images all the time, the conscious action
"click through" must be replaced by the conscious action "I am the
maintainer of this Validation farm, I hereby accept the license once
and for all and from now on l-m-c will not pop up the licenses in any
of *these* packages that are automatically installed in my lab".

How can this be done *technically*?

Doesn't automated installation of Ubuntu systems containing non-free
packages encounter the same problem?

BR,
Tony
