time to remove COPYING.GPL from alsa-plugins?

alsa-project/alsa-plugins issue #54 was opened from michael-mw-wang:

It seems the only thing in alsa-plugins that could have a GPL license is rate/rate_samplerate.c, which has this at the top of the file:

 * This plugin code is supposed to be used and distributed primarily
 * under GPL v2 or later, in order to follow the license of libsamplerate.
 * However, if you already own a commercial license to use libsamplerate
 * for dynamic linking, this plugin code can be used and distributed also
 * under LGPL v2.1 or later.

In 2016, libsamplerate dropped its commercial license requirement and was released with the 2-Clause BSD license.   (See http://libsndfile.github.io/libsamplerate//license.html)

So I was wondering if the license for rate_samplerate.c can be updated to remove the GPLv2, which means the COPYING.GPL file can also be removed from the alsa-plugins package?

Thank you!
