Well, Michael Sweet (mswet AT apple.com) remains the primary developer of CUPS, and this has been raised on the CUPS mailing list in response to the announcement he posted. Here's the latest response [1] on that thread: I don't think static linking against libcups is common enough to be a serious concern - CUPS is fairly ubiquitous and easily falls under the "OS-supplied library" exception in the GPL 2. And existing GPL-2-only software that *does* statically link/copy CUPS code can continue to do so with CUPS 2.2.x and earlier.
