Similar issue was discussed during gstreamer 1.20.0 bump https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/24183 with outcome that we will not perform explicit license acceptance for affected gstreamer plugins. Most relevant I believe is this part: - if a user is not willing to accept the license of corresponding (A)GPL dependency, such dependency will not be available and affected gstreamer plugin will not be built I think the same reasoning can be applied to pulseaudio as well, but I'm really not sure how / if LICENSE= should be amended on pulseaudio packages as a result. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the stage3 full of GPL licensed software? Anyone who uses Gentoo should be okay with GPL or they should not be even using anything Linux (a GPL licensed kernel) in the first place.
