Currently, GST1_PLUGINS_BAD_LICENSE_FILES starts out set to
both the GPL COPYING file and the LGPL COPYING.LIB file, but
the GST1_PLUGINS_BAD_LICENSE handling only claims LGPL, and
then intelligently adds GPL if needed.  This change moves the
GPL file addition to the same conditional clause so that the
GPL file is included in the legal-info location only if GPL
code is actually used.

I've applied to master, thanks. However, there's a separate but related
issue. See below.

This way of appending to the LICENSE variable is not very good, because
the value will then be:

	LGPL-2.0+, LGPL-2.1+ GPL

which isn't very good. We should instead do:

GST1_PLUGINS_BAD_LICENSE := $(GST1_PLUGINS_BAD_LICENSE), GPL

and actually, "GPL" by itself doesn't mean much, it should be GPL-2.0
or GPL-3.0.

Would you mind looking into fixing those remaining issues ?

Thanks!

Thomas
