Here's my winaspi patches that uses libscg for the scsi transport layer. It statically links libscg, which is the part of the cdrtools package (all distribution have it).
As far as I can tell libscg is under the GPL, not the LGPL. So we cannot use it in Wine.

Oh, I didn't think of it. And how about a configure option to enable it? Default option would be only the platform specific code, but a user can enable libscg with a compile time option, and will receive a warning message about the license. Is it acceptable? If it is, I will make a patch.

I don't think that would necessarily solve the issue. Some would argue that the source itself is a derivative work that has to be under the GPL. I don't want to debate the merits of that legal theory, but I think it's better to avoid the issue completely.
