Yes, I was trying to figure out what the effective license from combining GPLv3
and LGPLv2.1 is, but I cant, I'm only getting a headache.
Unless you are confident that GPLv3+ + LGPLv2+ = GPLv3+, the safest option is
to use both licenses, e.g. "GPLv3+ and LGPLv2+".

I still can't understand why licensecheck has README.md pegged as GPLv3, but
that's not important.
