Congratulations, indeed.  :-)

The intent for the =E2=80=98license=E2=80=99 field is mostly to describe th=
e license of
the combined work (although apparently the intent was not crystal
clear.)

In this case, I believe lgpl2.0+ =E2=80=9Cwins=E2=80=9D over the other, mor=
e permissive
licenses.  So I would just list lgpl2.0+ (sorry about that ;-)).

However it=E2=80=99s good to keep a note like the one you wrote above the
=E2=80=98license=E2=80=99 field.  Perhaps you could just s/many different l=
icenses/many
different, non-copyleft licenses/ ?

OK to push with a change along these lines.

Thank you!
