I think this is somewhat too complicated, what about just doing:

ALSA_LIB_LICENSE = LGPLv2.1+ (library), GPLv2+ (aserver)

However, the code in src/topology/, which can get linked into the
library, seems to be licensed under GPLv2+. This would make the whole
library GPLv2+, no? If that's the case, then the license information
should be updated accordingly.

I've pushed a commit that adds the aserver licensing information (since
it's already better than it is), but it would be good to clarify the
src/topology/ situation.

Thanks,

Thomas
