There are also COPYING and COPYINGv3; both contain the text of the
GPLv3. I'm not sure whether we should carry them or not...

I've looked at a few files, used a few grep-fuu, and they seem to really
consistently refer to either LGPLv3 or GPLv2, which is what you wrote.

So I'd be tempted to agree with you.
