Unclear licensing information

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The license field here on Google Code states that this project is licensed 
under the Lesser GPL; but the the parts included from Rockbox are licensed 
under the regular GPL (version 2 or later), which requires all derivative works 
to be under the same license.

To quote from the license itself:

  "2 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish,
  that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program
  or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to
  all third parties under the terms of this License."

I suggest:

1) Selecting "GNU General Public License v2" here on Google Code as the license 
for the project.

2) Explicity specifying the license for all source files (e.g. 
src/net/avs234/*.java) by putting a comment with a license notice at the top. 
Individual files can use any license (BSD, MIT, Apache2, LGPL, etc.) as long as 
it's GPL compatible.

Initially, it was GPL v2. 

I changed it to LGPL on requests of certain developers working on commercial 
products who would have been unable to use my library code otherwise.

I have added all license files missing in Rockbox-derived subdirectories. As 
far as I can see, the only GPL-licensed code from Rockbox is that of the ape 
decoder.

Is it sufficient to keep the project under LGPL, or I must change it to GPL 
anyway? In the latter case, I'd be glad if you explain what I should do next to 
keep it LGPL'ed like Rockbock (which somehow uses the GPL-licensed code).
