You're not forced to release L1, so you're not forced to release L1
under the GPL.
The obvious problem you can create for yourself, here, involves releasing
L1 under a license which isn't compatible with the GPL -- this would
mean that people couldn't really use your library until that issue was
resolved (though they could, of course, still read it).
So: either license will work.
