Yes, they are not automatically forward-safe, unfortunately. But it is
good thing to add 'or any later version (at your option)'
clause.

There is essay about compatibility, it may be of use. One day I saw
table of license compatibilies, but can't find it now.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-compatibility.html

Just to be sure (my english is not native), is it true, that polyparse is
licensed under terms of Lesser GNU General Public License, version 2.1 or
later (at my option)?
