Hi,

The source files of libltldl state

  GNU Libltdl is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
  modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
  License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
  version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

but as far as I know there is no such thing as a version 2
of the GNU *Lesser* General Public License.

I can find a version 2 of the GNU *Library* General Public
License, and there is a version 2.1 of the GNU *Lesser*
General Public license.  Furthermore the COPYING.LIB
distributed with libltdl is for 2.1, so there is a mismatch
with the source files.

Best,
