Probably need ACCEPT_LICENSE=dlj along with ~x86 keyword?

Take a look at "man make.conf" for details.

I've faced with similar problem:
Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-3.0.12 (masked by: PUEL license(s))
A copy of the 'PUEL' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/PUEL'.

- dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.17 (masked by: dlj-1.1 license(s))
A copy of the 'dlj-1.1' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/dlj-1.1'.

- dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.22 (masked by: dlj-1.1 license(s))
- net-im/skype-2.0.0.72 (masked by: skype-eula license(s))
A copy of the 'skype-eula' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/skype-eula'.

I've sdded in my /etc/make.conf file

I was hoping I could create a wildcard specific to the Sun Java license only with something like 'ACCEPT_LICENSE="jdl* "', but that did not work.

The value "jdl-1.1" did work, as advised above.

Does anyone know if the parse will accept wildcards, e.g. the asterisk symbol: *, specific to a token prefix such as "jdl"? I'm delighted to accept whatever licenses Sun (now Oracle) wishes me to agree to, but I want the ability to review and be alerted to other companies software licenses.

ACCEPT_LICENSE="jdl* " Sounds like nice feature request. Who is not bored to fill bug?

Just a quick note to JL Poole. The license is "dlj" not "jdl"...I typed it wrong the first time myself.

Adding

In fact, you need to add an entry

ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"

works for me...all packages now accept license

In fact, that's the easy way

Easy way ok for me, I don't want to have to think longer at it :-D

Thanks for the tip.

Either way works if you enter the right license codes, etc...

The ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" or variant in /etc/make.conf works if you don't care about licenses and are willing to give a "blank check" acceptance to whatever terms are demanded.

If you want to have more control, and know what you are accepting, then the /etc/portage/package.license file is a better approach, and doesn't appear like it would be all that much more of a pain to maintain, other than when initially starting it and you change the accept parameter...

(I changed my ACCEPT_LICENSE= to "@FREE" - which is to automatically accept all the FSF and OSI approved licenses, and mask others - got about 30 license masked files on what I had installed for my next emerge world, only a few of which actually had the text available from the repository)

Its a minor PITA, but could be a lot worse - the big challenge (as usual) is to find where the license stuff is documented and described - see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288083, https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292502, https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292445, http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Licenses, and http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0023.html (especially the last two...)
