That's more or less what there is with having the GLib D-Bus API binding in one
lib, and the rest in another. The GPL bits include LogManager, LogStoreEmpathy
and the datetime functions. All of which are required to use the direct IO API.

The GPL code in question comes from Empathy, so maybe it would be possible to
get those bits relicensed.
