Agreed. I suspect this contradiction will eventually be sorted out
(either by the author reverting back to a standard license, by
adopting a non-contradictory non-free license, or by a fork). In the
mean time, as is the license is unusable. I believe we can keep the
last LGPL-2.1 version in the recipe store and ignore these problematic
versions until the situation comes to a conclusion.
