multipath-tools is mixed bag of licenses. The last time I checked on
it, the results weren't optimum.

As you noted there, libmultipath/prioritizers/ontap.c is GPL-2-only
licensed, amongst other files in libmultipath. So libmultipath is
GPL-2-only.
multipathd links with libreadline (GPL-3+) and libmultipath
(GPL-2-only). Even though the effective license of multipathd alone
seems to be LGPL-2.0, linking with both of these licenses is not okay.
