I suspect you do not understand my point, then:

LGPL2.0 == GNU Library General Public License version 2.0

LGPL2.0 != GNU Lesser General Public License version 2

You proposed the latter, which has 2 (two) flaws: a) "Lesser" instead of 
the correct "Library", and b) "2" instead of the correct "2.0".
