 Actually there is no "special cases", there is "special exception" (which I
included in my proposal, that you snipped away but I repeat it below), and there
is "proprietary license". Then there are some files that have a "public domain"
option, but since the package links with a whole lot more than just those files,
it's not relevant for the overall license.

 Therefore:

PHYSFS_LICENSE = zlib license (physfs), LGPLv2.1 with exceptions (lzma)


 Regards,
 Arnout
