Thinking out loud here, maybe the best way out of this is a clean room implementation of the bits and pieces we need. To make this easier, someone could take a look a the existing code, and provide a set of tests that a replacement implementation has to pass to be able to replace the existing code. In oder words, do a TDD/BDD implementation between to parties. One party provides the tests and the other party provides the implementation. The resulting code would be best put under the BSD license. In that way we can use a GPLed library like the one Michael mentioned without much worries *and* we can also contribute the code back to Google. Of course, the resulting implementation for the Freerunner (the one using the GPLed library) would be distributed under the GPL as a whole.
