I think that this is a rather strange license.

IIRC Norway is such a jurisdiction where it's not possible to
renounce one's copyright.

On the Wikipedia page I linked to there's a "Open-source software
licenses and how they interact" diagram. If I interpret this
diagram correctly, then it seems that it is actually ok to use
LGPL for works derived from something in the public domain.
