Yes, it is odd.

README says 'The libunistring library and its header files are dual-licensed under
"the GNU LGPLv3+ or the GNU GPLv2"' and the project includes a GPL v3 license (COPYING).

Though not 100% sure, I would assume that it is ok continue with 
LICENSE = "LGPLv3+ | GPLv2"  

If anyone think it is the wrong way to go, please share your views/suggestions.
