As stated in [1], all the packages from vectorgraphics (of which
freehep-graphicsio-pdf and other are part) are under a LGPL license. No
version is explicitly chosen, so my understanding is that I can choose
the version I want (see LGPL-3, sixth article). We decided to put
LGPL-2-1+, as stated in debian/copyright.

I hope this is enough to clear the situation! :-)

Thanks, Giovanni.
