Would that imply I have to add the LGPL license text to the package
myself?
The packaging guidelines state that the desired course of action is
to contact upstream and ask them to provide the licence text. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidelines/#_license_text

Thanks. I already opened an issue upstream [0]. Just wanted to be sure regarding dual licenses.

If the COPYRIGHT file explicitly stated the PNG files are dual licensed,
then (in the absence of any more explicit statement elsewhere in the
source tree) the COPYRIGHT file statement is considered binding, despite
the fact they forgot to ship the actual LGPL license file text. Upstream
should be encouraged to ship the license text to make this more clear
though.

Thanks. Upstream is quite responsive. I will provide a patch to include the missing license text.
