License information in source code headers is GPL 3+, but it is LGPL 3+ in LICENSE.txt

Your environment

n/a

Steps to reproduce

for example, please have a look at the license header of lightningj/src/main/java/org/lightningj/util/ZBase32.java

/************************************************************************

 *************************************************************************/

There is the statement called

"... under the terms of the GNU General Public License License as published ..."

Note the "License License" in the sentence and there is no "Lesser"

Expected behaviour

I believe the license should be read as

"... under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published ..."

because in lightningj/LICENSE.txt

I read that your project has been released under the terms of the LGPL 3+ and not under the terms of the GPL 3+ as the source header suggests.

I haven't cheched all source headers, but spot checks show that there is more than one source affected by this issue.

Actual behaviour

see the stepts to reproduce

Hi. Yes that I wrong. The license is LGPL v3. I will update the code headers with correct info. Must be a copy’n paste error by me.
