BTW, I'm already a sponsored packager now.

Analyzing the license:

The README file actually says LGPLv2.1 and refers to COPYING which is a copy of
the LGPL v2.1:

4. LICENSE
----------

The user library is licensed under the GNU Lesser Public License (LGPL)
Version 2.1, February 1999.  The full text of the LGPL is located at:

COPYING
------------------

Looking in COPYING it says LGPL v2.1 or later:

Judy - C library functions for creating and accessing dynamic arrays
Copyright (C) 2004  Doug Baskins

This library 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 2.1 of the
License, or (at your option) any later version.
------------------

The source files have headers that mention the license as LGPLv2 or later, for
example:

./src/JudyCommon/JudyMemUsed.c-// Copyright (C) 2000 - 2002 Hewlett-Packard
Company
./src/JudyCommon/JudyMemUsed.c-//

the License, or (at your
./src/JudyCommon/JudyMemUsed.c-// option) any later version.
./src/JudyCommon/JudyMemUsed.c-//

I'll check with upstream which license they intended.
