I certainly agree that the license is a feature, and a pretty
important one for many users.
There's a saying "if you call a dog's tail a leg, how many legs
does a dog have. Four. Calling its tail a leg doesn't make it one."
Version numbers have been based on binary compatibility
and interoperability between versions.
Saying that license is an interoperability issue doesn't make it one.
