How do you you plan to solve this? A preinstall message? It doesn't seem that the ordinary approach of just putting the license in /usr/share/licenses would be enough, IANAL.

Maybe you could use 'dialog' [1] in the pre{install,update} message to display the license and make sure that users accept it before proceeding to the installation.

Yuck! Anyway, pre_install can not abort a pacman transaction. I remember we used to have a package saying that you had to accept the license found in /usr/share/licence/... That probably is not enough here though. The easy solution... Don't put it in the repos.
