LICENSE variable in both wxPython and wxGTK ebuilds (all versions) contain
"LGPL-2". This is incorrect, both packages are distributed under the wxWindows
Library Licence, version 3, which is much less restrictive than LGPL-2. The text
of licence is in LICENCE.txt file in wxGTK tarball or in doc/licence.txt of
wxPython tarball.

Attached patch fixes this and adds /usr/portage/licenses/wxWin-3 with licence text.
