Hi Vadim and Tom,

as LGPL v2.1-or-later is compatible with GPLv2-or-later, there is not
really a strict requirement for license compatibiltiy reasons.  Any
application that links against the GPL-v2-or-later libosmocore has no
license compatibility issues with LGPLv2-or-later, as GPLv2 is the
stricter of the two licenses anyway.

Still, it is of course good if the entire library is covered under one
license, and people don't have to research and follow different license
terms for each file.  Most importantly, we don't want people to assume
all of the librray is LGPL, which is clearly not our intention.

Regards,
	Harald
