OK, then. To implement that "hopefully over time, bit by bit we can
incrementally re-write it as a clean MPL/LGPLv3+ thingit", we need to
clearly establish that all future contributions to these files are
LGPLv2.1+ / MPL1.1. So I'm changing the headers *again* to say (with parts
in parentheses actually expanded out, and X replaced by the right year):
