GPL and Library GPL do _not_ say that you have to write under GPL if you
USE the library, only if you modify it!
Including it via #include, using it via ldso or linking it into your code
is _not_ modification - it's simply usage - modification would be if you
change the source files of the library and then you're free to distribute
you changed library free and the project that uses it non-free (you just
have to say that they are different projects).....
not that I like this option very much - but it's possible ....
