Forgot to answer this, sorry.
For 2.7.1 what you suggest may work -- there may be some tools that
are GPLv2 that we could separate. But for the new version the strange
" "LGPLv3+ | GPLv2+" license combo is _not_ a result of the library
being LGPL and some utilities being GPL: the library itself (like a
lot of GNU stuff nowadays) is dual licensed like that.
It seems weird but actually makes sense for GNU: It forces all users
to comply with LGPLv3, except the GPLv2 programs that can't easily be
relicensed to GPLv3. Those GPLv2 programs would be incompatible with
the newer LGPLv3 libraries but this dual-licensing lets them off the
hook.
