I had a look at msvcrt of the latest ReWind that is quite old but should be 
enough as well for the reqired parts. After examining the mixed-mode msvcrt 
(just the metadata not the code) I found that it contains little if any 
managed code so I will most likely be able to forward calls to a native 
msvcrt.

As a conclusion I think that there will be no licensing problems.

Inlining (done by the JIT at run time) is not just linking (that is 
permitted LGPL) and may not be permitted by LGPL.
