As per COPYING file, this dual licensing only applies to library and
other auxiliary components (tests, utils, etc) may be under different
licenses.

License string for LGPL should be "LGPLv2.1" because license text
doesn't have "or (at your option) any later version;" clause.
There are many versions of MPL license and COPYING file specifically
mentions MPLv1.1
So, license string should be "LGPLv2.1 or MPLv1.1 (library)"
Thanks,
Rahul
