I did so now.  As it is rather long, but based on the LGPL-2.1 (with the
intent to be more permissive), I've word-diffed the two for your
convenience. Apart from a gratuitous change s/License/Licence/ etc.
throughout, and replacing the FSF with their own name, theses are the
differences as far as I can tell:

2c: Additional sentence 'This requirement does not extend to any "work
that uses the Library" that might also be compiled or linked against the
"work based on the Library."' at the end.

5: All paragraphs after the first (ending with 'and therefore falls
outside the scope of this License') have been removed.

6: First sentence has been rewritten without legal changes in order to
account for the changes in the previous section. The rest of the first
paragraph after 'choice', i.e. from 'provided that the terms
permit[...]' has been removed.

6a: s/including whatever changes were used/including whatever changes to
the Library were used/. Further, the rest of this section after the
semicolon starting with 'and, if the work is an executable[...]' has
been removed.

6: The rest of this section starting from 'For an executable, [...]' has
been removed.

14: Everything after the first sentence starting with 'For software
which is copyrighted' has been removed.

15: This section has been newly introduced, it reads: '15. If you modify
the Library in any way whatsoever, the output from any such modified
Library may not be referred to as 'InChI' or any similar name.  Any
attempt to refer to such output as 'InChI' will automatically terminate
your rights under this License.'
 
So mostly removals except for section 15.

We are not installing this one and depending on libjs-query for the -doc
package.  I don't see a point in repacking the original tarball for this
well-known minified javascript which isn't shipped in the binary
package.

All the other ones look like legit non-minified javascript with just
long lines due to search terms/inline HTML:

[...]

>  W: openbabel source: space-in-std-shortname-in-dep5-copyright lgpl-2 / lgpl-2.1 / lgpl-3 (paragraph at line 89)

Fixed.

I've reuploaded openbabel now, I hope it'll still make the library
transition deadline.
