In general, the contents of the COPYING file is irrelevant and the header of each c/h-file declares the actual file. This allows developers to put mixed GPLv2/LGPLv2 code in one tarball (IOW, a library part, and a tool part based on that libary, for instance). Of course, the bickley author(s) need to confirm this, but you should certainly not assume anything from the presence of a "COPYING" file, and always look at the source code header.
