Subject: What license is multipath-tools under

Hi,

I just ran some compliance tools on multipath and the results weren't very
appealing in regard to licensing and copyright information.

The standard COPYING file mentions LGPL v2.
On the other hand, the majority of the source code has no license mentioned in
its header. Some that do have, mention it as GPLv2, and some as GPLv2+

Please see full license/copyright check below.
