This seems strange. GPL project typically dont force the output to be under
GPL. Can you even enforce it via your license?
What prevents anyone from forking XMLVM as another GPL project, but generate
output to be non-GPL?

It seems to me that only thing that is part of the output binary file and
can be forced to be under GPL is the compatibility library.
