Please read Joerg Schilling's response in the above mailing list thread.

According to his explanation, lv2fil can be classified as a "collective work"
since the codes of various author are brought together into a single product.
The source files are not written by a single author.

Now we know that, 
* The source files are:
  filter.*    : GPLv2+ by Nedko Arnaudov. But the DSP code is based on 
                ladspa:1970 by Fons Adriaensen.
  log.*       : GPLv2 by Nedko Arnaudov.
  lv2_external_ui.h : Public Domain
  lv2_ui.h    : LGPLv2+ by various authors
  lv2_ui.c    : GPLv2+ by Nedko Arnaudov.
  lv2filter.* : GPLv2 by Nedko Arnaudov
  lv2plugin   : GPLv2 by Nedko Arnaudov

* In an email, Nedko Arnaudov states that he wanted his code to be GPLv2 only.

So from here, we can say that Nedko Arnaudov's part of the code is GPLv2. We
have 2 possibilities:

1- If Fons Adriaensen's part of the code in filter.* is GPLv2 too, we can say
that the collective work of Nedko Arnaudov, Fons Adriaensen and all the authors
of lv2_external_ui.h is GPLv2 and LGPLv2+.

2- However, if Fons Adriaensen's part of the filter.* code is GPLv2+, then the
collective work has license LGPLv2+ and GPLv2 and GPLv2+.

We find Fons' code in our ladspa-fil-plugins package in file filters.cc. This
file clearly states that the license is GPLv2+.

Hence the collective work is  LGPLv2+ and GPLv2 and GPLv2+.

I think I interpreted it correctly this time.
