+ The upstream license clarifies pretty well that the sources of pulseaudio are
+ LGPL (please see LGPL license grant below), but that some parts will be
+ effectively GPL since they rely on GPL libraries, quoting the upstream

+    However, the server side links to the GPL-only library 'libsamplerate'
+    which practically downgrades the license of the server part to GPL (see
+    file GPL for details), exercising section 3 of the LGPL.
 
-On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU Lesser General Public
-License can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL'.
+    Hence you should treat the client library ('libpulse') of PulseAudio as
+    being LGPL licensed and the server part ('libpulsecore') as being GPL
+    licensed. Since the PulseAudio daemon and the modules link to
+    'libpulsecore' they are of course also GPL licensed.
