I emailed rtl-sdr.com who despite not being the creators of rtl_sdr are the main leads in documenting the software in the field. They recommended I do not bundle at all and/or instead follow the method SDR# (SDR Sharp) uses of bundling a download script which fetches all the required software. I'd rather not get my hands mucky with licensing issues and have left it to the user to ensure they have the required software. cc @martijnvdven

librtlsdr is GPL licensed, so I don't think you are allowed to bundle, unless @eric makes his application available under GPL as well. This is one of the reasons LGPL was created: LGPL licensed software may be used inside proprietary software without the "viral" spread of GPL.

That will hold true if @eric had to change the program's code. But he's not doing that, he just bundles a binary. Lots of operating systems bundles GPL software.
