I switched Serd and Sord to 2-clause BSD. Enjoy. The license header is
bigger and uglier and has a bunch of lawyer boiler-plate yelling in it,
which I am not aesthetically please with at all... :)

This made me notice something though: lv2.h itself is LGPL (inherited
from ladspa.h). So, if you're implementing an LV2 host there's
inherently LGPL involved anyway.

I am fully on the pro-GPL card-carrying FSF member team (Affero GPL3 it
all, comrades!), but a decent argument could be made for lv2.h having a
more liberal license, since it just defines an interface which we want
implemented as widely as possible...

That said, I can't think of an actual reason why LGPL complicates
matters...
