PS: Actually, I looked at some source code and there's no mention of
"or later". So the license is specifically LGPL 2.1 with no
alternatives.

Not at all.
This is an user option: some may want the old 2.1 others 3 (or 4 or 5). By
pushing the latest license version you are removing the option.
Plus, by using only the latest version you are retroactively changing the
license for existing rel

Hello,
I was browsing GeoTools and I see conflicting evidence about the exact license:
1. https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/main/LICENSE.md lists LGPL v2.1
2. The GitHub README has the http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html
which goes to LGPL v3
3. The website https://geotools.org/about.ht
