License clarification

• The first paragraph says public domain + LGPL without a version or if it is the "or-later" variant.
• The second paragraph says GPL-3.0-or-later
• Then GPL and LGPL are included

Could this be made more clear maybe?

Originally only the formal text of LGPL v3 was included. As LGPL references GPL, I was a bit unsure whether it would suffice, so a copy of GPLv3 was also added in front of it.

The second paragraph was a mistake. It should reference LGPL instead of GPL. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll fix it.

thanks. the LGPL is self contained, so no need to reference the GPL.

I thought so until I saw this^1:

If you are releasing your program under the Lesser GPL, you should also include the text version of the LGPL, usually in a file called COPYING.LESSER. Please note that, since the LGPL is a set of additional permissions on top of the GPL, it's crucial to include both licenses so users have all the materials they need to understand their rights.

oh, sorry, good to know
