I said before:
!!!! PLEASE LOOK IN THE COPYING-FILE !!!!
<snip>
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.

    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.

Looks like LGPLv2+ or not?

GNU Lesser General Public License v2 (or 2.1) or later
LGPLv2+

Nope? Why nope? Did you ever take a look in your archive? your checkout creates
an !UNIQUE! .git directory. This is the reason why we all get another md5sum.
You have to remove the .git directory from your source0 before you archive it.
THEN and !only THEN! we all will get the same md5sum...
