The file https://github.com/HVML/PurC/blob/master/COPYING.LESSER indicates PurC is available under LGPLv3, but many files indicate GPLv3: https://github.com/HVML/PurC/blob/master/Source/Executables/purc/purc.c https://github.com/HVML/PurC/blob/master/Source/Tools/debian/copyright https://github.com/HVML/PurC/blob/master/README.md

My understanding is that correct license is GPL, but if the included files from miniGUI have been relicensed under LGPL, LGPL seems fine.

Can make a pull request to update the code either way.

This repo contains multiple software components licensed under different licenses.

The main component, the library PurC, is licensed under LGPL. However, purc under Source/Executables is a command line program. It is not a library. It is an executable program uses the PurC library, so it is licensed under GPL.
