The published source files contain the (correct) formulation “GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1”, but the license text in media-codec is the older GNU Library General Public License, version 2.

Here is the license text for LGPL v. 2.1:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html

Also, I can't read Chinese but the translation of the license text appears to be incorrect since it states that it's an unofficial translation of the “LGPL Free Documentation License”. Elsewhere in the text I see “(C)2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc”, but the LGPL v. 2.1 is from 1999.

Ah, good. I see that formatting has a become a bit weird in the English text, for example:

@display
Copyright @copyright{}

To correct this. you can just copy the plain text from here:
https://gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt

I saw that when you manually edited the file, part of the license text disappeared, for example the word less below:
"...it does less to protect..."
Now it says (incorrectly) "...it does to protect..."
