[Libguestfs] hivex: Copyright license(s)

I note that LICENSES and README state LGPL v2.1 but there are other
files with other licenses, most obviously many shell script files such
as:

regedit/hivexregedit
sh/example*

Also some Makefiles:

perl/Makefile.am
sh/Makefile.am
...etc...

find . -type f | while read filename; \ 
 do if grep -iqs 'general public license' $filename; then \
  if grep -viqs 'lesser' $filename; then \
   echo $filename; \
 fi; fi; done | wc -l
223

Many of those 223 instances of 'general public license' without 'lesser'
are from the build tools but there remain a significant number that
appear to be project-specific.

Is this a simple oversight or are the package contents actually subject
to both LGPL and GPL? If so, should this be reflected in LICENSE and/or
README?
