The website of this project says the license is LGPL. This is confirmed in a
mailing list posting (
http://crisp.cs.du.edu/pipermail/libmicrohttpd/2007/000001.html ) and a
bugreport ( https://gnunet.org/mantis/view.php?id=1384 ). In the Subversion
repository of this project, everything is already changed to LGPLv2+.

I'll change the License tag to LGPLv2+ in the spec file

Fixed by moving the COPYING file to the main package
