19 Depending on your viewpoint this would necessitate one of two options due to
20 LICENSE being able to depend on information from IUSE:
21
22 1) Things stay as is.
23 2) Both LICENSE and IUSE move to metadata.xml
24
25 Both have their merits and I'm not sure which I like best, but I think it has
26 to be one or the other.
