I've always thought Gentoo needed "plus" versions of the versioned 
licenses, anyway.  GPL-2, GPL-2+, GPL-3, and GPL-3+, should all be 
different licenses, because really, they are.

Then again, there's the various "waiver" conditions, which I /do/ see are 
covered with separate licenses for many of them, already.

But someone already mentioned a license audit, which in practical terms 
would be needed to really depend on the LICENSE variable in any case.
