I know this isn't what you meant, but to be explicit: Allegro *is* GPL
compatible.
It's not clear that simply *using* OSS4 would require binaries that link
with (that copy of) Allegro to comply with the GPL conditions. As I
understand it, the Allegro library wouldn't be linked to any GPL
libraries, only making syscalls.
