fixes #1737

I know @Starbuck5 wants to rewrite the readme anyway, but I thought I'd toss this into the pot as a thing to clarify.

The debate here would be between the two variants:

I have no strong feelings on this topic but I can see why some users might want it clarified for legal reasons.

I should note that @ankith26 expressed a preference on discord for LGPL-2.1-only on the basis that it is the effective status quo.

As I said before I don't really mind either way this was originally raised by @ruben2020 so perhaps they have stronger feelings on the topic.

@MyreMylar If you're fine either way, I would recommend LGPL-2.1-or-later as it is more flexible for users than LGPL-2.1-only.
