*cries*

So we have convenience code that wraps these D-Bus calls in C API, written
specifically for this project by Collabora and usable under a license of our
choice, but we can't use them from certain clients of the logger, because
something else in libtelepathy-logger is GPL?

The best way out of this might be to have a small libtelepathy-logger with the
(LGPL && client-relevant) API, a larger libtelepathy-logger-gpl (dependent on
lt-l) with the (GPL && client-relevant) API, and the daemon linking both and
adding daemon-only stuff?

I think you're conflating use of libtelepathy-logger with use of direct I/O
into the log stores. These aren't necessarily the same thing.
