Not explicitly, but in practice, it does. It is often not viable to jump through the hoops required to do it. That is, if your lawyers will even let you try.

Having it as a dynamic library isn't that problematic a hoop is it?

This may be a genuine issue. Many have a strict "nothing related to GPL" policy driven at least partly by misunderstanding or paranoia.

Having it as a dynamic library is not enough. It has to be a dynamic library tgat you can replace. This doesn’t work when, for instance, distributing through many app stores.
