Probably not just go ahead and call it LGPL-2 (which makes us distribute
it). You could ask the developers for clarification.

Most of the files are now LGPLv2 or later in the new version you just
committed. However the viewer still says GPL-3+, as do the examples, and
the included CGAL headers are GPL-3+ or LGPL-3+. (The tests are also
GPL-3+ but tests usually aren't installed.)

ASCII 45.

BTW, the port now has redundant name and version lines, and the case of
the parent dir does not match that of the name.
