I think it's to give people who care about such things all the information they need to make informed decisions. As I recall, the 1.6 series was problematic, because it wasn't actually open source. That's why 2.0 is a derivative of 1.5.2. I doubt there are other licensing weirdities lurking, but better to give people everything they might need, especially if it's not difficult. At this point I think the hard work is done. Release managers or their minions just need to remember to tack on the next line.
