libnl3 library is licensed under LGPL-2.1-only according to file 'COPYING' and file headers of various library source and public include header files of the project. That did not change ever since initial import of code into libnl vcs in 2007 and up to the current version. The license stated when introducing the libnl3 package into ptxdist back in 2013 applies to the tools however.
