Imo,
License: LPGLv2 with exceptions
is perfectly descriptive and valid. Folks will have to look at the
license file for details anyway. For example, see also qt4 packaging
that uses something similar.
This specific exception is something which is OK for Fedora, please use
"LGPLv2 with exceptions" as the license.
