Yes, that looks right.  I was just looking at the whole thing again,
and I can't find a reference to libril outside rild and reference-ril.
 That certainly makes a lot of sense, because Google needs to provide
a way of including proprietary GSM libraries in the product.  Keep in
mind though, that APL2 does not have a problem when it comes to
linking against proprietary code, which is I believe one of the
reasons why Google went with that.

That doesn't clear the other problem though: rild _is_ APL2, which
means you can't just take GPL2 code and link rild against it, dlopen
included.
