Comment (by cjones051073):

 Ken, just because you link dynamically to a lib doesn’t excuse you from
 respecting the license for that library. This is the exact reason the GPL
 has the exclusion for system libs, as *every* links against that so
 without that exclusion nothing GPL would be distributable.

 For me there are only 3 ways out.

 1. Do nothing, and accept the non-distributable outcome in some case.
 2. Replace the APSL code with something else.
 3. Break up the single legacy support lib into multiple libs, depending on
 license, and allow ports via the PG to pick and choose more what they
 need.

 2. And 3. Require quite some significant work.
