Yes, that looks like a copy and paste mistake. Thanks for pointing that out. 
Anything in:

https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-userspace/blob/master/lib/
https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-userspace/blob/master/auparse/
https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-userspace/blob/master/bindings/

is intended to LGPL. Would replacing the comment at the beginning of the file 
be sufficient to fix this issue?

Thanks,
