Since it's under the LGPL we do have their permission.

Is there a specific problem with the file being LGPL?
IIUC the LGPLv2.1 is compatible with GPLv3 (not sure about GPL>3), so
I don't think we have a license problem right now. Is the problem
limited to "we don't own its copyright" (i.e. something which we impose
on ourselves and could thus choose to ignore)?
