Ah sorry, I imagined that harfbuzz was going to be distributed as a separate
library, not as an integral part of Pango. 

In this new context, I understand that you would want a single license.
I'm ok with re-licensing this code under the LGPL, but I believe that Werner
wrote most of it, so you'd better ask him (and check the sources for author
disclaimers).
