LICENSE="GPL-2"

Unpacking the ebuild, COPYING.txt is a copy of the GPLv3, but only .class files etc can be found - with no source.

README.md mentions something about different jar files, which allowed me to find the source, but the source version in the ebuild should be linked to directly.


I inspected: https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/electric/electric-9.03.jar

Most .java files note:

 * Electric(tm) is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
 * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
 * the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or
 * (at your option) any later version.

This file notes GPLv2-or-later, but it probably has been upgraded to GPLv3-or-later: tool/io/input/LibraryStatistics.java


Therefore, it should be: LICENSE="GPL-3+"
