Why not?  You don't link with COM objects, but even if you did, I'm
not sure why it would be against the GPL.

As to the topic, a while back I wanted to be able to instantiate and
call into a COM object from Emacs and ended up creating a plugin based
on Steve Kemp's work:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/DynamicallyExtendingEmacs 

Within the plugin I did what I wanted, which was basically the
automation of msdn for context sensitive help.
