The LICENSE file contains the header of the LGPL 2.1 but the license text of the LGPL 2.0:

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 2 of the
License, or (at your option) any later version.

...

                  GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                       Version 2, June 1991

If this was meant to be the LGPL 2.1, the "header" should contain "[...] you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, [...]"

Based on commit 79da589 I'd assume this is really the LGPL 2.0 but it would be nice to get some clarity here. It feels like bikeshedding but it would be nice as this issue might generate a few comments in the Fedora review.

@Nikratio needs to decide, I can fix it afterwards.

I have no clue what the differences between 2.0 and 2.1 are. I'll just naively assume that 2.1 is somehow improved and say that's the one I meant :-).
