Yes, but making an ebuild which install the libraries only if the user has 
downloaded it before (and downloading means also signing the agreement) 
doesn't mean re-distributing the software. It only makes simplier to install 
it, and makes possible for other ebuilds to know if these libraries are 
installed or not.
But I think that adding an opendwg use flag for grass ebuild doesn't even mean 
to have to be an ebuild for opendwg too. Can't  it work so that if the user 
specifies the opendwg useflag for the grass ebuild, you simply add the 
appropriate switchies to the configure script, assuming that the libraries 
are installed on the system already?

Thanks,
Istvan
