I can't read Chinese, but an OGL product declared as 100% OGC would be clearly indicated.  Readability is not a requirement.  Clear indication is.  And "this entire compiled binary is absolutely, with no exceptions, 100% OGC" is about as clear a designation as I can manage.  Again -- there's no requirement for character sheets that the Quark file you lay them out in be distributed with the character sheet.  There should be no requirement that code be destributed with a binary -- the binary is being distributed and needs licensing, not the code (which is not being distributed).

And I don't even know that this is an issue.  If your compiler packages specific free-standing DLLs with your application, then declare the compiled binary as OGC and the external DLLs as "not OGC".  If your compiler just makes one monster binary with no external files, then you may have a problem.
