IANAL, bu wouldn't it be truer to say that the GPL does not allow *distribution* of Squid linked with software under non-GPL-compatible licenses?
See: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCGPLRequireSourcePostedPublic
and: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#InternalDistribution
And I am not sure that dynamic linking triggers the "derivative work" provisions, particularly if Squid continues to function without the presence of the library.
Note particulary:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLAndPlugins
and the use of the word "believe" in that language. The GPL itself does not mention dynamic linking at all.
