Berrange" , Anthony Liguori The license information in this file is very messy. A short note at the beginning says GPL first, but the long boilerplate code then talks about "GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.0". First, there is no such version of the "GNU Lesser GPL", it only started with version 2.1. In version 2.0, it was still called "GNU Library GPL" instead. Second, you can easily get the license of this file wrong if you only quickly glance at the long boilerplate code. Anyway, looking at the text of the LGPL (see COPYING.LIB in the top directory), the license clearly states in section "3." that one should rather replace the license information with the GPL information in such a case of a mixture instead. Thus let's clean up the confusing statements and use the proper GPL text only.
