the binutils/ directory isnt the only one that matters

until someone audits every piece that gets installed for its license, i'm not changing anything

This bug didn't show up in my search either. Although it may seem trivial that the license slightly changed, the change from gpl2 to gplv3 is very significant and gentoo should reflect the license change correctly as other OS distributions do, otherwise the license field is worthless moving forward

Consider binutils audited as gplv3
Comment 6 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-10 01:41:36 UTC 
Fixed.
