 After consulting debian-legal[1], I'm far more confused than I
 initially was.  I will still ship the upstream README file to document
 the situation, but the "copyright" file will stay LGPL as the upstream
 source is (the jack plugin was removed, for other reasons).

 I'm marking this wontfix so that other people see this issue was
 discussed.

   Bye,
