Licensing text must be included verbatim - matching a common pattern 
is optional but actually including the text is not.



Still having problem with "chbevl.c" file there is just this:

Cephes Math Library Release 2.0:  April, 1987
Copyright 1985, 1987 by Stephen L. Moshier
Direct inquiries to 30 Frost Street, Cambridge, MA 02140

Copyright is clear, but lincence?



I interpret such text as "I own this, please contact me in any case!".

I.e. non-DFSG-free.  I recommend contacting upstream to ask if perhaps 
they did not intend such interpretation, and if so, kindly ask for 
explicit licensing statement.

Also, beware that LGPL-2 and LGPL-2.1 are not same license - one has 
_Library_ in its name and the other has _Lesser_.  If code refer to 
wrong name for a version, then technically that license is void and 
upstream should kindly be made aware of it.
