libgpg-error and gpgme: GPLed or LGPLed?

libgpg-error and gpgme appear to be ambiguously licensed.  The COPYING
file in the source tree is the GPL, but the comments at the top of,
e.g., src/mkerrorcodes.c suggest that libgpg-error is meant to be
distributed under terms of the LGPL.

It would probably be a good idea to bring the COPYING file(s) in sync
with the license information in the source code.
