Not by default, since the license is not compatible. However, if your own project has a compatible license, you can recompile everything and link it statically.

Another option is to move the DLL to the default lookup directory which should be C:\Windows\system32

Then you dont need to have the dll there.

But i warn you, this is a messy solution.. You still need to make sure the DLL is installed on the system and there will be a mess if more than one version of it is required by the softwares.
