The correct value for the License tag according to:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#SoftwareLicenses
is "LGPLv2" though, not "LGPLv2.1". And as the only actual difference between
the LGPL 2(.0) and 2.1 is the renaming from "Library" to "Lesser", I doubt
anybody cares about the difference, so please follow the guidelines there.
Also, please check if the software you're packaging includes the "or (at your
option) any later version" clause. If it does, please add a "+" to the License
tag, i.e. "GPLv2+" or "LGPLv2+" instead of just "GPLv2" or "LGPLv2". But if
the "any later clause" is NOT there, then please DO NOT include the "+".
