Yeah, they said they have exceptions on the headers themselves. I mean
I ignore these exceptions from headers in the last upload(my fault).

This time, I would like to ask for your help to confirm, can I use
`LGPL-2-with-linking-exception` instead of
`LGPL-2.1+-with-linking-exception` from your original suggestions[6]?
Because from my understanding, for these files, the copyright
license(LGPL-2)is below from LICENSE[7] with expectations in headers
themselves.
```

The following files are modified versions of map and set from the
Objective Caml library and are distributed under the GNU LIBRARY GENERAL
PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2 as below.

ocaml-lib/pmap.mli
ocaml-lib/pmap.ml
ocaml-lib/pset.mli
ocaml-lib/pset.ml

```
Is this okay?

That is great, I understand it now.

Thanks for your time and help!
