For example, even though libvirt-rs itself would be statically linked into any application that uses it, by virtue of it being a wrapper around the C library you'd still end up dynamically linking against that.
I tend to agree that language bindings should follow the rest of the language ecosystem in terms of licensing, and for libvirt-rs specifically that would probably mean MIT. Perhaps we should consider looking into relicensing the project?
Alternatively, stay away from "ecosystems" that are not compatible with copyleft. Jano
