I think this falls under the 'linking to GPL code' clause; a portion of the
plex86 code has to run in kernel space (at least under Linux; Windows
probably requires a similar thing, although I haven't looked too deeply into
that area of the system), and that means one dynamically links GPL code with
possibly-non-GPL code.
