Not only am I not a lawyer, but I have little knowledge of licence
nitty-gritty. However, I believe that if you do not modify Exim and you
do not distribute a modified Exim, something that you make to be used
by, with, or from Exim can be licenced any way you like. After all, Exim
has a "${run" facility, and nobody expects the things that it can run to
be influenced by Exim's licence. As far as I can see, dlfunc is a
similar case.
