It would be in the implementation and in the non-transparency.
How can a user understabnd that "GPL-2+" refers to a group of license
files but "GPL-2" refers to a single file? He may guess but it's not
obvious, especially if it hasn#t been like that in the past, which is
the case.

I propose support for license groups in ebuilds then, I guess.
