Here, L is not generating all strings in <math>\Sigma^*</math> as the strings like abab are not generated by L. L is actually generating all strings except those of the form <math>ww, w \in (a+b)^*</math>. To do this is not we need at least an <math>LBA</math>, making <math>L</math>, a <math>CSL</math>.
