Copyright: some more licensing clarifications

Unfortunately I'm also adding the full text of the LGPL license text,
because the GPL one was already present in this repository, and I don't
want to imply that the GPL somehow has priority.

 All new contributions must be LGPLv2.1+ licensed. Using a more liberal license
 compatible to LGPLv2.1+ is also ok.
 
 If changes are done on GPL code, must come with the implicit agreement that the
-project can relicense the code to LGPLv2.1+ at a later point without asking the
-contributor. This is a safeguard for making potential relicensing of remaining
-GPL code to LGPLv2.1+ easier.
