Of course then anyone statically-linking the SMAPI/XMSGAPI would need to
provide source code to their program if their executable was publically
available, because the GPL considers this a "combined work".  But
given that (I assume) everything that uses SMAPI/XMSGAPI is already either
GPL or GPL-compatible (eg. BSD or PD), this probably isn't something to be
too concerned about.
