LICENSE="LGPL-2.1" NEWS: New in 1.17: * The libiconv library is now licensed under the LGPL version 2.1, instead of the LGPL version 2.0. The iconv program continues to be licensed under GPL version 3. ... The comment refers to upgrading from: LGPLv2+ to LGPLv2.1+ and not LGPLv2+ to LGPLv2.1-only. Under lib/, most of the files have in the header: ... * The GNU LIBICONV Library 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 2.1 * of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ... The change seems to have been a bit sloppy, as some files have: ... * The GNU LIBICONV Library 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. ... As "Lesser" and not "Library" is noted, the author(s) actually mean version 2.1. src/iconv.c: ... This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ... Therefore, should be: LICENSE="LGPL-2.1+ GPL-3+"
