Note that the LICENSE file is the standard LGPLv3 text; it should not be
modified.  The text reads:

  If the Library as you received it does not specify a version number of
  the GNU Lesser General Public License, you may choose any version of
  the GNU Lesser General Public License ever published by the Free
  Software Foundation.

In this case, headers explicitly specify “version 3 or any later
version”.  So I’d say the authors of nomad did “everything right”.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
