I'm still waiting for a reply to the email I sent Sage. In the meantime I
did a cursory inspection of the source and don't see anything new that is
licensed with LGPL 3.0.  (I'm not a lawyer and I did not do an exhaustive
search.)

What I do see that is new is the top-level license file (i.e. COPYING file)
has been changed to add "... or LGPL-3..."

Again, I'm not a lawyer, but AFAIK that magic word "or" in the phrase
"LGPL-2.1 or LGPL-3" should make it acceptable for things like QEMU that
are GPLv2.0 only.
