I hope that it is clear that v.in.dwg code __IS__ under GPL!!!
The problem IS NOT in 'Open DWG' license, the problem is in GRASS license.
OpenDWG license allows without any fees: "You may incorporate the 
OpenDWG libraries into programs that are used within your organization or school, 
or are distributed for free to the general public via the Worldwide Web."
(Please read http://www.opendwg.org/membership/join.htm)

What is not possible is to distribute binaries, because GPL used for GRASS
doesn't allow it.

Open DWG license gives more freedom to distribute v.in.dwg for free than GPL.

Put it to src.nonGPL is very confusing!!!
