Details:

Hello,

Currently, lib/version.c is under the LGPL-3+ license and is used to build
libunistring.so.2.1.0.
That means we cannot redistribute the library under the GPL-2 in contrary to
the README file claims.
I guess it is only a small oversight, but relicensing this file under the
dual-licenses "the GNU LGPLv3+ or the GNU GPLv2" would make it less
ambiguous.

Thanks

Best,
Dylan
