The first link on gnu.org *was* pointing to the version 2 in the
past[0] - version 2.1 linked here here as archive.org doesn't have
a copy prior to year 2000 and 2.1 update got released in 1999. Once
v3 got released this became a redirect and version 2.1 got obsoleted
by version 3 of the license. However, the fact that there's a newer
version of a license, doesn't make *all* software under the old
version, automatically "upgraded" to the new one.
Also, LGPLv3 got released in 2007, while the latest version of
id3lib got released in March... 2003[1]. So there's no way on Earth
it is under a license which didn't yet exist when the software was
released.
Which brings us to the final - simply download the tarball[2], untar
it, and run:
$ head -n 2 COPYING
GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
