The limit was at 2k, however I've dropped that feature before I updated the GLEP as it would only cover about 35% of the licenses in the tree (the rest are >2k) and it would have major issues with non-plaintext licenses (and there are a few licenses using pdf, html or other formats), so now emerge will only refer the user to the licenses file by printing the filename (still need to decide if/how to account for licenses in overlays).
