Probably. If the dynamic libraries use any code under this MPL'ish
license (e.g. from header files), then they can't really release the
compiled library under the GPL. The two licenses are not compatible.
You could ask the library authors to make a special exemption, much
like the Lyx license (http://www.lyx.org/about/license.php3).
