Can this wait for the next upstream release? I'm uncomfortable with changing the license to something which isn't in the repo at the tag we're actually using it at.

The current release should still be the old license, right? This should be definitely be changed for the next update.

As previously mentioned, the issue is that at the version (4.5.1) we have in nixpkgs the license looks like this: https://github.com/vprover/vampire/blob/57a6f78cc2bc179e480c3d47d09fbfc1ec8d1f23/LICENCE (sic!)

Please ask the upstream to release a new version, so distros can package that under the new license.
