Along with ACCEPT_LICENSE, the LICENSE variable affects which packages
can and cannot be installed. You need a new revision so that users who
already have the package installed will pick up the change. If the
change makes a package violate a user's ACCEPT_LICENSE, they need to know.

If you installed something whose EULA says it can hijack your webcam and
post naked pictures of you to slashdot, but it incorrectly had
LICENSE="GPL-2", wouldn't you want to find out that I corrected it?
