I don't expect that either, but it's out of my control in any case.
Let's say.

I've heard quite a few times that "the preferred license for new
bindings is GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause", but this is the first time I
hear it's a hard requirement. I have missed the decision making process,
I have nothing to question, and I'll spread that message in the future.

I tried both, and neither worked. No big deal, I'll keep the current
expression.
