The way you previously explained it, he was calling a GPL'ed DLL -
that's the same (in the eyes of the GPL) as executing a separate
binary. He's not violating the GPL unless his program links in GPL'ed
code *at compile time*; runtime is okay. (Of course he should check
this out with a lawyer to be sure, but that's the way I've always
understood it.)
