[syslog-ng] License check failure

[Nagy, Tamás]

I quote the build error:
https://travis-ci.org/balabit/syslog-ng/jobs/104659082


error: mismatch lib/logmsg/logmsg-serialize.c expected:LGPLv2.1+_SSL
detected:GPLv2+_SSL
error: mismatch lib/logmsg/logmsg-serialize.h expected:LGPLv2.1+_SSL
detected:GPLv2+_SSL

That means that everything below lib/ must be licensed to be under the
LGPL, and you have copied a file from your modules/.../ which usually
is licensed under the GPL. If you made the file completely, it's a
simple matter. Just copy over the license declaration from any file
from lib/, that should be LGPL.
