For years both the documentation and nixpkgs have said that CppNix is LGPL-2.1-or-later, not LGPL-2.1-only as is somewhat implied by the README. We are choosing to update the README to match the rest of the references. Related: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5218 Change-Id: I6a765ae7857a2f84872f80a25983c4c4b2b3b1c1
