yes, searching for "version 3 " found only artiste/src/artiste_main.cpp, 
the rest of the LGPL-licensed files contain

* it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as
* published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the
* License, or

Quoting https://github.com/vovoid/vsxu/blob/glfw3/COPYING
"All code (C and C++) is released under the GNU GPL 3.0 as included in
this document unless explicitly released as LGPL 3.0 (check source 
files)."

This is indeed misleading because I found only file referencing GPLv3+, 
the rest contains

* it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
* the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or

so I changed to VSXU_LICENSE to

VSXU_LICENSE = GPLv3+ (artiste/src/artiste_main.cpp), GPLv2+, LGPLv2+

and hope its ok.

This will be difficult ;)

$ grep -r "(LGPL)" * | wc -l
267
$ grep -r "(GPL)" * | wc -l
209
