Switch license to current LGPLv3?

[floscher]

Currently the source code is under the GNU Library General Public License, which has been superseded by the GNU Lesser General Public License.

@arenn would it be ok for you, if the license would be updated to the LGPLv3, at least for the changes that I've made and those that I will make in my fork of your repository.

As far as I'm concerned, go ahead. I believe these licenses generally
specify that you can use "any later version" of the GNU license in
question. I will say that since I adapted it from the code in the GNU C
Library, I don't own the underlying, original copyright and thus can't
speak for the FSF. I will look at this further in the future. Thanks, Aaron.

Thank you for answering so unbelievably fast ;).
I've now changed the license at least for my master-branch. If you want, I could also open a pull request against your master branch containing the new license.

You could do that, but I haven't really mastered github yet. I've only been
using it as an internet backup for my personal repositories. I spent too
much time back in the day using CVS and have never really fully figured out
the world's shift to git. Cheers, Aaron.
