incorrect.  you are free to link commercial applications with GPL'ed
libraries.  library stubs are an exclusion of sorts to the GPL, as they do
not constitute "extending" GPL-code functionality, but simply using it as
it is intended to be used.

LGPL-licenses are a very workable alternative; perhaps the nevrax team
could countenance dual-licensing any such "rules API" and releasing
parallel versions (with identical code) under both licenses.
