Note that you don't have a LGPL-2.0-or-later COPYING file in this repo (there's also no LGPL-2.0-only).

COPYING.LIB contains the LGPL-2.1 license which is used by one file in the tests/ folder

Add COPYING.LGPL-2 and COPYING.LGPL-3

Indeed, I never think about those COPYING files. In fact this is something that is definitely inconsistent in most of the frameworks right now...

What's the reason for only changing this one to LGPL2 only or LGPL3 only (without the eV clause)?

The reason is Waldo Bastian, who agreed to 2-or-3 but not to 2+

waba (  17 LOC): 7ee6ea605e,ec1dc9339f,307504885e,764b51a72c,f1d9d663e6,010677452e,79787d4962,5dcce58a32,0ef36944f8

He did agree to +eV, but others didn't (lunakl, mueller).
Hmm, on further investigation, the commits from those two were all trivial (typos, includes, fsf address in license header). I'll make it 2-or-3-with-eV-clause then.

I guess this can then be turned into 2+ by asking the eV, but is that worth the trouble?
All this is moot without Bernhard Loos anyway.

Nope, The e.V. can't turn 2.0-only to 2.0-or-later. The proxy is only allowed to act on future versions of the license

I see, thanks for the clarification.
