I am not sure it would solve the particular problem, but one could take a look at how NetBSDs pkgsrc build system copes with licenses in general: For each license type, there is a knob. The knob could normally be interactive, yielding the exact same behaviour as now. But if an appropriate ACCEPT_LICENSE_FOO=Yes is found in make.conf, then the user has read and accepted that particular license type once and for all. The downside is that this requires a considerable amount of work and thought. What should happen when the license changes, for instance.
