BTW to add to the confusion:

In some cases (library) we do not ship the file anymore but only have the pear 
xml statements "GPL" or "LGPL" and the links either in there or in the source 
code which usually point to the most recent license versions.

Take for example Horde_Exception.

No license file shipped.

The XML says LGPL and points to http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html which 
is version 3.

Exception.php also links there and points to a file COPYING (not included 
though)

Now in this case, is it LGPL v3 or v2?
