ACCEPT_LICENSE does not change the files which the ebuild installs on the user's filesystem, nor does it interfere with subslot dependency calculations like EAPI changes do. Therefore a new revision is not needed. > 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? That is the package manager's task. I do get reminded if a package which I have installed is now masked by package.mask, maybe something like this would work for licenses too.
