I don't remember seeing this when I originally created the Stringprep  
library.  I think what I did was looked through the actual source  
files - there was code that was adopted/used from GNU's idn library I  
believe that had a dual-license GPL/LGPL, so I chose the LGPL.

Yes, the COPYING file is wrong.  Will fix.

I don't find it strange, because it doesn't look like the original  
author has/had any intention of releasing.  This is true of all sorts  
of code in GitHub (as an example).
