Back in commit 7469f26a33 when the COPYING
file was added to the repository and the project was "licensed," the
license file was
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
However, the license was abbreviated as LGPL2 in various places (pretty
much everywhere, actually), due to my own ignorance/carelessness. (I was
distinguishing it from shiny new version 3, released 6 months earlier.)
Version 2 of LGPL is the "Library General Public License," published in
June 1991: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.0.html
Note that this ambiguity persists for most of the project's lifetime. For
example, the original debian/copyright in 8adc9dac1d
said "LGPL2" bug in 4545f8b929 (2009, a year
later) it is changed to LGPL2.1 to satisfy Debian's lintian checks. (It's
remained LGPL2.1 ever since.)
"Correct" the record by changing LGPL2 references to LGPL2.1.
