Yes, it is odd. README says 'The libunistring library and its header files are dual-licensed under "the GNU LGPLv3+ or the GNU GPLv2"' and the project includes a GPL v3 license (COPYING). Though not 100% sure, I would assume that it is ok continue with LICENSE = "LGPLv3+ | GPLv2" If anyone think it is the wrong way to go, please share your views/suggestions. > The libunistring commit that sets out these terms is from 0.9: > > commit 3c15d3a96963703fc02cddda7e968e508638d1b8 > Author: Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> > Date: Sun Mar 15 02:10:58 2009 +0100 > > License information. > > COPYING | 674 ++++++++++++++++++++...++++++++++++++++++++ > COPYING.LIB | 165 +++++++++...++++++++ > ChangeLog | 3 + > README | 2 +- > 4 files changed, 843 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > which doesn't help much other than the ChangeLog: > > + * COPYING.LIB: New file, from gnulib/doc/COPYING.LESSERv3. > + * COPYING: New file, from gnulib/doc/COPYINGv3. > > > ../Randy Best Regards, Maxin > > [1] From README: > > Copyright > --------- > > The libunistring library and its header files are dual-licensed under > "the GNU LGPLv3+ or the GNU GPLv2".
