I have not looked at the list in general, but I 
notice you missed some files, e.g., src/mt19937ar.[ch] and
cmake/epa_build/ExternalProject.cmake which are clearly licensed under
a non-LGPL license.  Note those files are found by the find command I
suggested,

find . -type f |grep -v .git \
|xargs grep -li copyright| xargs grep -Li "public license"

so I am a bit puzzled why they are missing from your list.  Of
course, the above command does not discriminate between GPL
and LGPL, but I guess you have that covered with a slight variation
of the above command.

Also, your file states that the shapelib files are in the public
domain. However, if you look at data/ss/os_open_conditions.txt, the
conditions at
<http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/opendata/docs/os-opendata-licence.pdf>
appear to apply, i.e., those files are licensed under the "Open
Government" license which apparently requires some changes to our
Copyright file to conform to that license.
