Just a thought, but it is well known that the GPL is not business
friendly.  This is just one example of that.  Perhaps you should think
about using another license that is open source friendly and will allow
you to link to the needed LDAP libs.  Maybe the BSD license?  I'm not a
legal expert, but it seems to me that LDAP would be critical to your
business.  Since I see .com and not .org, I assume this would be
important to you.

I love the GPL, by the way.  Have released several projects on it
myself, but I'm not trying to run a business, just trying to create cool 
free code.

Well, just a thought.
