About LGPL - I don't know.
But the license is not a problem, this code is totally freeware (because too simple).
LGPL is just my favorite license type for years. :-)
I'll change this if you prefer another license and explain, why (why BSD? BSD is the PostgreSQL license?)

through alter type as you suggest. It's worth noting there there is
no handling for the unlikely but still possible event of oid
wraparound. Also, there is no 'enum_insert', which is not so pleasant
with how enums are implemented.
Also, is lgpl compatible with bsd licnese? Not that it matters, but I'm curious.
