+Regarding the license, upstream has confirmed that the current license is LGPL
+v2.1 or later. Also, the source code is really the final say on this, and it
+says "GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software
+Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later
+version." Either way, Fedora spec files don't distinguish between v2.1 and v2,
+so this is specified as LGPLv2+ for the spec file.

+I did not know a new version of LGPL existed. You are correct,
+the COPYING file is correct (LGPL v2.1 or later applies). I will
+change the README file to reflect that in the next release of Judy.
