GraphApp is covered by the GNU Library Public License.
It appears that if Euphoria calls routines in the compiled object code,
there's no need to do anything at all, other than giving credit where credit is
due:

5. A program that contains no derivative of any
portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being
compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".  Such a
work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

As far as I know, Euphoria (even when "bound") cannot incorporate c code from
other libraries, so this next paragraph would seem to not apply:

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an
executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of
the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library".  The executable is
therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of
such executables.

I am not a lawyer (I say that with a great deal of pride) but this looks like it
can be used without hassles.
