...but this does not.  Why the discrepancy?  It is a disservice to
clients to have a more restrictive license for the Rust bindings than
for the rest of libnbd.

I agree with Eric that we should fix this (it seems like a simple
oversight rather than a deliberate thing).  If Tage you give me the OK
I will change it in the upstream repo.

You have the OK to change it in the upstream repo. It should be "GPL-2.1-or-later" according to this site.

Best regards,
