Updating from LGPL 2 to LGPL 3

[John Moser]

Are you a maintainer of the package or an actual code contributor for the
project?

Raising the license seems silly if you're not a core dev or significant
contributor.  *GPL3 were driven by politics and contain language not well
tested in court (particularly, the completely ineffective patent language);
so a third-party relicense of someone else's code would seem political and
ill-conceived.

Hi,

I was indeed aware that by raising the license of files that did not change,
there would later be two different license versions for a same file; that
was also what made me wonder whether it is allowed to raise it.

As the LGPL 2 license included the "or later" and the copyright holder
agrees with the change, I am going to also raise the license of the files
that did not change.

Many thanks for your help,

Francesco.
