Funny: I just had a quick look in 30 Jan 2006 ghostscript head and found
% more LICENSE

  The files in the src, lib, toolbin, examples, doc and man
  directories (folders) and any subdirectories (sub-folders)
  thereof are part of AFPL Ghostscript.
...
% svn update LICENSE
U    LICENSE
Updated to revision 7519.
% more LICENSE

  thereof are part of GPL Ghostscript.

Ah: someone must have heard you:

% svn log LICENSE | more
