Sun-jdk requires some dlj licence ?

New version of portage adds support for licence acceptance for specific packages.
sun-jdk requires now acceptance of dlj licence (in /usr/portage/licenses)

If you do not want to get into more details simply add

ACCEPT_LICENSE=”dlj-1.1″

to your /etc/make.conf

You can also set this to
ACCEPT_LICENSE=”*”

but you won’t receive and error during installation of  licensed software.
