No.  If a user wants Gentoo to help them stay on top of their licenses
there is already a mechanism for this - ACCEPT_LICENSE.  The spotify
"license" in the tree would just contain a disclaimer and link like
the one I proposed earlier, and it would not be part of the free
license groups, etc.  Besides, anybody using the spotify service will
no doubt be exposed to the agreement as part of signing up for it.

I would not look to strip any click-throughs upstream puts in their
application, but neither would I make users jump through hoops.  Fetch
restriction generally should be used for packages that do not have
stable URIs, which we also cannot mirror.
