Ok, I got confused with "Library" vs. "Lesser"
LGPL v2 = GNU Library GPL LGPL v2.1 = GNU Lesser GPL LGPL v3.0 = most recent GNU Lesser GPL
Is that unambiguous?
yes, of course. (except for the possible « or later »).
Ok, I'll see what I can do.

Ok.
Btw I exchanged a few emails with Richard Stallman on the topic, but I didn't do it as fast as I could, esp as I didn't get the replies I wanted on pd-list. The main question was whether there was any canonical meaning to saying « pd as a whole is under the GPL3 » and it immediately went into the fact that several bundled things have unclear licenses and how bad it is.
Yes it is bad when there are incompatible licenses and things like that. I work to make sure that everything in Pd-extended is GPLv3 compatible. That's why pidip was removed, for example. Everything in Pd-extended is GPLv3, so you can use it under those terms with relative confidence. If you take bits and pieces and try to look for other licenses, then you are on your own.
