The GnuPG developers still strongly discourage continuing this practice 
because they reserve the right to change the output of gpg if 
necessary. Of course, they will always adapt gpgme to those changes and 
thus people using gpgme are always on the safe side.

gpgme is LGPL since quite some time already.
