License under GNU LGPL v>=2.1 (LGPL-2.1-or-later)? #133

Hello, may I suggest to extend the licensing from LGPL-2.1-only to LGPL-2.1-or-later?

This will keep the freedom protection of the license, but makes it more compatible. While at it, using the SPDX identifiers like recommended in https://reuse.software/practices/2.0/ can make it easier for others to see the licensing information.

Best Regards, Bernhard
