Right you are, unfortunately - I went looking for it in
the wrong place and assumed the LGPL when I couldn't find
a COPYING file.

This is unusual, of course, since the FSF switched to the LGPL for
just about every other GNU lib I can find and I can only assume that
either the author was feeling particularly restrictive or, in fact,
nobody ever bothered to update the copyright. :)
