Will try.

Good catch.  But this project's license is weird.

According to: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dbusmenu-team/libdbusmenu/trunk.16.10/view/head:/debian/copyright

#+end_example

libdbusmenu-glib, libdbusmenu-gtk, and some files in tools are dual
licensed under LGPLv2.1 and LGPLv3.  The rest files are licensed under
GPLv3.  For example:

#+begin_example
  https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dbusmenu-team/libdbusmenu/trunk.16.10/view/head:/tests/json-loader.c
  https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dbusmenu-team/libdbusmenu/trunk.16.10/view/head:/tools/dbusmenu-dumper.c
#+end_example

So we should clarify it further.
