Issue description

As we know that libzmq moved to MPL2.0 from 4.3.5. So what is the license of older version now? As I found the description "libzmq used to be licensed under a custom LGPLv3 + static link exception license. The relicensing to MPL-2.0 has been completed with explicit permissions from all relevant copyright holders where necessary." in the web http://wiki.zeromq.org/area:licensing, does it mean that the whole project is under MPL2.0 now including the older versions?
