Well ... unfortunately that is precisely the problem we have here. Aley's code is not in a DLL. Presumably It is possible to recompile a version of Sim Coupe that does not uses Aley's static library, and presumably that would be GPL-OK. But since Aley's code links statically, if you use it with Sim Coupe, you must compile it in, so it physically forms a part of the program. Unlike my DLL ... assuming everything's well written the show would still go on without my DLL being present. But I don't see anything stopping me release it under the GPL or somesuch.
