Inconsistent licensing

I'm packaging StarCluster for Fedora
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=949371) and I'm running
into some questions about the licensing.

README.rst and setup.py indicates LGPLv3

The only python files with a header indicate:
starcluster/progressbar.py: LGPL (v2.1 or later)
starcluster/sshutils/scp.py: LGPL (v2.1 or later)

Note that the license headers in the source files are generally
considered the definitive statement of the code's license.

And then of course there are the jquery bundled js libs, which are dual
MIT and GPLv2:

./starcluster/templates/web/js/jquery.js: * Dual licensed under the MIT
or GPL Version 2 licenses.
./starcluster/templates/web/js/jquery.js: * http://jquery.org/license
./starcluster/templates/web/js/jquery.js: * Released under the MIT, BSD,
and GPL Licenses.
./starcluster/templates/web/js/jquery.js: * Released under the MIT,
BSD, and GPL Licenses.
./starcluster/templates/web/js/jquery.flot.js: * Released under the MIT
license by IOLA, December 2007.
./starcluster/templates/web/js/jquery.flot.js: * Released under the MIT
license by Ole Laursen, October 2009.
./starcluster/templates/web/js/jquery.flot.navigate.js:Licensed under
the MIT License ~ http://threedubmedia.googlecode.com/files/MIT-LICENSE.txt
./starcluster/templates/web/js/jquery.flot.navigate.js: * Dual licensed
under the MIT (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php)
./starcluster/templates/web/js/jquery.flot.navigate.js: * and GPL
(http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php) licenses.

At this point I don't know how the jquery/starcluster interaction works,
but if you really want starcluster to be licensed under LGPLv3, there
should be a LGPLv3 license header in every starcluster source file that
you authored.
