After consulting debian-legal[1], I'm far more confused than I
initially was. I will still ship the upstream README file to document
the situation, but the "copyright" file will stay LGPL as the upstream
source is (the jack plugin was removed, for other reasons).
I'm marking this wontfix so that other people see this issue was
discussed.
Bye,
