The website says: "eyeD3 is written and maintained by Travis Shirk and is
licensed under version 2 of the GPL." And that is backed up by the COPYING
file in the mercurial repo: https://bitbucket.org/nicfit/eyed3/src. Upon
checking the actual source files, it does indeed say "(at your option) any
later version", so it looks like I was mislead by not finding that wording in
the COPYING file.

'python-eyed3' is probably a better name. I wonder perhaps as a python
library it should be in python.scm instead of mp3.scm. Anyone have a
suggestion on that front?
