Yes.

I'm aware.  That's why I considered it implausible that...

Of course only Jakub (CC'd) can know for sure.  :-)

I opened an issue[0] upstream earlier today but no reply yet.  If 
these GPL2+ headers are meaningful *in any jurisdiction*, we 
*can't* claim that our FLINT is LGPL2+.  Nor can upstream.

I was unable to build FLINT without these files.

Kind regards,
