--acceptLicense: When you run certain commands, you will be prompted to read and accept the software license agreement. You can suppress the license agreement prompt by including the optional --acceptLicence parameter. Specifying this options indicates that you have read and accepted the terms stated in the license.

To view the license agreement, open /path/to/web_agents/agent_type/legal/CDDLv1.0.txt.
