Wine LGPL version

I can't understand what version of the LGPL you are using for the Wine source code.

Wine is free software. The licensing terms are the GNU Lesser General Public License.

There are 2 links in your main page:
the first links to the official LGPL v3 page http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html
the second links to a page of the WineHQ site, showing the LGPL v2.1 http://www.winehq.org/site/license

Please, make thing clear.

This was a result of GNU releasing version 3, which left old links invalid.
We'll need to adjust to the permanent link...
