IANAL, but as far as I understand, LGPLv3 works in a following way:

1. The code is licensed under GPL (see COPYING file)
2. If linked as a library, there's an amendment to the license (see 
COPYING.LESSER) which grants you some additional rights.

In other words, if you don't use 0mq as library, you are bound by GPL 
with no extra rights.
