Since vtun is GPL licensed this would not help them. If anyone wants to create some tunneling program for another protocol with a compatible license I can help out.

Use of pre-built standalone .dll or .so should not violate GPL imho.

iodine is released under the ISC license.

Wikipedia states ISC license as GPL compatible.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISC_license

Yes, the license is compatible, one-way. Anyone wishing to enhance vtun based on our code is welcome. But I dont see that packaging it as a library would help.. Let me know if I am wrong.
