Does linking the unchanged library in an application cause all of ones application code to be subject to the GPL?
Yes, as noted, that's how it work.
Underbit however employs a clever licensing scheme: since they have written all of the libraries themselves: you may buy a non-GPL license for use in proprietary programs if you wish.
Well, this isn't exactly true. Underbit aka Rob didn't write _all_ of it since he incorporated many code contributions and optimizations from others as can be seen from the CREDITS file. When I asked Rob about his position on alternate licensing with other people's contributions Rob didn't provide a clear answer.
