  OpenCT smart card reader drivers, middleware and library

is the normal license. Most of the code is still BSD-3 licensed too
(and all of libopenct is), but some drivers are already LGPL-2.1+
only, so another new driver with LGPL-2.1+ is ok.

If you want to go for LGPL 3 or 3+ (or 2.1) or any other new license,
lets have a discussion about that first (so we know why, and how it
will affect openct as a whole).

About the web page: hmm, there is now a link to fsf web page with
lgpl? strange.

AFAIK the authorative parts are this:
http://www.opensc-project.org/openct/wiki/LicenseText
        -> core is BSD-3
http://www.opensc-project.org/openct/wiki/AuthorsAndCredits
        -> in more details: some parts are LGPL 2.1+, thus if you
        compile in those parts, the whole is LGPL 2.1+.
        if you compile OpenCT without those parts, it is BSD-3.
