Addendum: I found it strange that the additions to this file were described as LGPL-2.1, whereas the rest was supposed to be LGPL-2.1+. It turns out that everything else has always been LGPL-2.1, too. Upstream ships the full license text, but the individual source files omit the "[...] or any later version" qualification. As this is a more serious error, I filed #756915 to document this properly. A new package with a fix has been prepared at the previously posted locations.
