Description
I noticed while checking a project with cargo-deny that the spdx license expression used by this crate in Cargo.toml is deprecated.
See https://spdx.org/licenses/LGPL-2.1.html
LGPL-2.1-only, or LGPL-2.1-or-later should be used instead.

Start by checking the license expression at line 9 of Cargo.toml and review the linked SPDX options. Update the manifest to the expression that matches the project's intended license terms, then run cargo-deny to confirm the deprecated expression is no longer reported.
