NEWS file in the sources says this about switch from GPLv2 to
GPLv3 license:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=blob;f=NEWS;h=5a06047f255e3c9a63828953759fd18a4ba9a3f3;hb=HEAD#l362
362 The license is now GPLv2/LGPLv3+ for the libraries and GPLv3+ for stand-alone
363 programs. There is now also a formal CONTRIBUTING document describing how to
364 submit patches.
libasm, libdw and libelf are thus covered optionally by GPLv2 license.
