This works only until people start putting LICENSE="GPL-2-only" for things that they haven't sufficiently verified. If we want to let those people keep committing to the tree, then a specially-formatted comment might work just as well. It would be harder to QA (you'd have to parse the comment and associate it with the variable), but it would save us from having to rename the license every few years to catch mistakes.
