License.default is better than COPYING, which, as you said yourself,
normally refers to a GPL-type license.

But I'm unsure if this really clarifies matters. If adding my lenghty
review document to the tree is out of the question, a note in the
README might be more helpful than this link:

License
=======

The multipath-tools source code is covered by several different
licenses. Refer to the individual source files for details.
Source files which do not have a license header are shipped under 
LGPL-2.0 (see LICENSES/LGPL-2.0).

Regards
Martin
