LGPLv2.0 is an obsolete license.  We shall be using LGPLv2.1.  As per "https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.0.en.html"
"Please note that the GNU Library General Public License has been superseded by the GNU Lesser General Public License. We urge everyone to use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this GNU Library GPL. We leave the Library GPL available here for historical reference."
Please note that DPDK repository include LICENSE.LGPL for version 2.1
