That is right for GnuPG but not for GPGME.  From gpgme/AUTHORS:

 License (software): LGPLv2.1+
 License (manual+tools): GPLv3+

and from a decade old release note:

Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.2 (2004-12-28)
------------------------------------------------

 * Changed the license of the library to the GNU Lesser General Public
   License (LGPL), version 2.1 or later.


BTW: A C++ language binding for GPGME is available from KDE.  IIRC, this
has no Qt or KDE dependencies.
