Inconsistent license information

I wonder, which license apply to this library, as the composer.json states that it would be LGPL-3.0, but your LICENSE file is a GPL 3.0.
Did you perhaps accidentally forget to include a LICENSE LESSER file or the like?
Just voicing that I would also appreciate this to be confirmed.
I typically use composer licenses to check my dependency tree license (which reflects LGPL-3.0).
Got quite scared when I saw this and the GPL3 license in the repo, thinking I may have to remove my use of DOMPDF (Or re-license my project), until I saw each file has a specific @license GNU LGPLv3+ header which gives some confidence that LGPLv3 is the intention, but would be nice to have that confirmed.
GitHub detects based upon the license file and also is reflecting GPL-3.0 license in the project details.
So, yeah. When the COPYING file was introduced both the LGPL and GPL version were put in the library. Looks like I thought they were duplicates without realizing that they were two different license files. Considering the file headers and history the intention was for the license to be LGPL. I'll update the file to match the headers, i.e. LGPL 3.
Note that the other Dompdf projects are currently using LGPL 2.1.
Cool, Thank you very much for the confirmation!
