Updating pyclamd turned out to be a little harder than I had hoped.  Working 
on it.

I am looking into updating the long neglected pyClamd package in Debian.  In 
reviewing your package, I discovered that the licensing information is 
inconsistent.

Both the web site and pyclamd.py refer to LGPL version 3 or later.  setup.py 
and PKG-INFO both say simply LGPL.  README.txt says GPLv2.  I suspect your 
current intent is LGPL version 3+, but I can't ignore the inconsistencies for 
Debian purposes.

Also, for clarity, Debian wants a full copy of the license in the tarball.  
This is usually the copying file.  

It would be very helpful if you could clarify this, ideally with a new release 
that resolves the inconsistencies and adds the full license.

Thanks,

Scott K
