Unfortunately neither is an option atm :{ We have one other GPLv2-only dependency elfutils. elfutils does have the same special exception for linking it with eclipse code into a larger work as frysk has, but binutils/libopcodes is GPL-only and unfortunately the EPL isn't GPL compatible (neither with version 2 nor version 3). So we have to either ditch the EPL eclipse code (so the exception isn't needed and we can just use pure GPL), ask the Eclipse people to dual license under the GPL, or find an disassembler that is compatible with both the GPL and EPL code.
