Apparently licensing of the Gentoo repository was changed from GPL-2+
to GPL-2 (only) in 2002, see for example [1] and [2]. I cannot find
any announcement or discussion about this.
Who was around in 2002 and still remembers what was the rationale?

The following patches improve the php-ext-source-r3 eclass by introducing
two new variables.
The first allows the configration INI name to vary from a hard-coded default
of the module name.
The second allows USE dependencies to be added to each implementation
similar to python team's PYTHON_REQ_U
Currently php-ext-source-r3 saves the enabling ini file as
"${PHP_EXT_NAME}.ini". This is problematic when foo module needs to be
loaded before bar module as things are read in directory order.
This patch introduces PHP_INI_NAME which defaults to PHP_EXT_NAME for
backwards-compatibility.

Hi, everyone.
Here's a little new something we've been silently debating back
in the day, then forgotten about it, then I've written a GLEP about it.
The number's not official yet.

Thanks. I'd forgotten the (long) post I made there, but while it doesn't
talk about the GPLv2-only stuff, it certainly reflects the zynot stuff in
far more detail than I re
