Currently libzmq is in the process of relicensing. In the meantime their library is still released with the LGPL license with a static linking exception.

To quote the zeromq website:

ZeroMQ is safe for use in close-source applications. The LGPL share-alike terms do not apply to applications built on top of ZeroMQ. You do not need a commercial license. The LGPL applies to ZeroMQ's own source code, not your applications. Many commercial applications use ZeroMQ.

I added a clarification in the README as of 31c3c67b42f9b19635f50003f017c015da16cf36.
