License version in copyright statements #8

The copyright statements in many of the source files simply say "This source code is subject to the terms of the GNU Lesser Public License" but do not say which version. Also, the official name of the license is "GNU Lesser General Public License".

The LICENSE file in the project root is for the LGPL version 3, so I presume that is what was intended, but you still don't say whether the license is "version 3 only" or "version 3 or any later version"?

I'll fix this in an eventual release. It should be V3 or any later version. I might change it to CC0 though.

OK great. I want to copy the Wigner 3j function into https://git.embl.de/grp-svergun/galumph which is LGPL-3+, so if this one is also LGPL-3+ it simplifies the licensing.

Yeah, go right ahead!
