Three-clause BSD-style license. You can use it in GPLed code.
See the license on top of strlcpy.3[0], it's the same.

Why are you talking about glibc?
Well, I once wrote it before I saw the OpenBSD's code (but after
I saw the man page). I would dig it up and GPL it, but it seems
to be lost in the mists of time. But the code is so trivial that
there aren't many ways to write it. And the license is
compatible with almost anything.
OpenBSD >=2.4, FreeBSD >=3.3 and NetBSD >=1.4.3 have strlcpy(3)
in libc. I don't think any other OS does.

decide to do it.
