lv2.ttl?
Ah, we are talking about multimedia:libs lv2core

To be exact, I'd sugest
License: LGPLv2.1+ ; X11 MIT ; GPLv2+ ; BSD3c

The header of lv2.ttl comes very close to the archetypical MIT license.
See http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php

The 3-Clause BSD license is found in the script wav.
The GPL license is found in the script autowaf.py.

'BSD' in the general sense could qualify as 'close enough', but it is 
unspecific.

Although the GPL is the 'strongest' license, I'd still put LGPL first in
the list, as this is the main License according to upstream.

        cheers,
