Adding LGPL License just like added to Labrador Linux 64 bits repository. LGPL License is a License less permisssive than MIT but more permissive than GPL, and it was suggested after my Pull request suggesting MIT License.

I believe that this license suits the needs of this project.

@breno-helf Linux Kernel uses GPL v2 as preferred license and is already here read: https://github.com/caninos-loucos/labrador-linux/blob/master/linux/COPYING

Some references:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/COPYING
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.19/process/license-rules.html

So, I do not understand what is your goal with this pull request ...

Hey @microhobby , thanks for the fast response.

I just wanted to make the license clear and in the first page of the Repo. This is a replica of a Pull request that I sent to the 64bit version of this repository (They asked me to use LGPL license). As it is using already code under GPL License, I think that is the license that needs to be used. Can you make a license file with GPL in the first folder of the repo?

Thanks.

@breno-helf Ok, got it, so I think that the best license to add here is the GPL v2 since this is the preferred license.
But I do not have power here, I do not even know who is the repository main maintainer.
