Why do they _have_ to? I understand that it's optional and that we can |

take time with it until a new license (e.g. GPL-4) arrives. |

Also, scripts/tools can help with the transition. |

- It's adding clarity and allows us to express the actual license |
| 15 |
of "GPL 2 or later" packages much better. |
| 16 |
- It increases chances of correct labeling of future ebuilds |
