I don't see how 2) can allow non-GPL eCAP modules. We can't add a
linking excemption to the license even if there is a well defined API.

The only way to "link" non-GPL code to Squid is by not linking it into
the runtime binary, statically or dynamically. non-GPL code needs to run
in it's own process image, and for that we have ICAP already.
