I haven't applied this one, because the situation is a bit more
complicated here. mxml is released under LGPLv2+ + some special
exceptions. See the COPYING file:

                           Mini-XML License
                          September 18, 2010


The Mini-XML library and included programs are provided under the
terms of the GNU Library General Public License version 2 (LGPL2)
with the following exceptions:

  1. Static linking of applications to the Mini-XML library
does not constitute a derivative work and does not require
the author to provide source code for the application, use
the shared Mini-XML libraries, or link their applications
against a user-supplied version of Mini-XML.

If you link the application to a modified version of
Mini-XML, then the changes to Mini-XML must be provided
under the terms of the LGPL2 in sections 1, 2, and 4.

  2. You do not have to provide a copy of the Mini-XML license
with programs that are linked to the Mini-XML library, nor
do you have to identify the Mini-XML license in your
program or documentation as required by section 6 of the
LGPL2.


^L                GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                         Version 2, June 1991

[... rest of the LGPLv2 text ...]

I am not sure how to encode this into the _LICENSE field. Luca?
