And people who are really worried about licensing issues should not even *look* at the LICENSE data which can be seriously out-of-date/wrong if maintainers are not careful enough. Furthermore, for a lot of packages, only the "major" license is described in the ebuild, leaving the "minor" licenses out : - main software is GPL - library is LGPL - images/icons are CC-SA - doc/man are GFDL, ... As for the original question: I don't think a license change warrants a rebuild for end users. It's just a waste of bandwidth and CPU cycles.
