Along with ACCEPT_LICENSE, the LICENSE variable affects which packages |
12 |
can and cannot be installed. You need a new revision so that users who |
13 |
already have the package installed will pick up the change. If the |
14 |
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? |
