If it only works with Oracle, and you only distribute the Oracle portion of 
DbLinq, then what? Everything is fine?

DbLinq.dll -> Data -> Linq -> SqlClient, remove other providers and leave 
OracleProvider.cs. In you software package, distribute DbLinq. Oracle.dll 
and DbLinq.dll, nothing else. Would this do the trick? You might not even 
have to remove anything from DbLinq.dll since it doesn't seem to link 
against anything GPL but might as well to be safe.

If your software allows 3rd party plugins, licensing issues would be the 
problem of the 3rd party. You would not be able to license the plugin as GPL 
since the main program isn't, but would it also prevent (legal) in-house 
development of such plugin?
