It is used to link against the library with -lsim at build time. 
It is not used at runtime. So it should be in devel such that
one have to install the devel package to link against the library.
The file used at runtime should be like 

/usr/lib/libsim.so.?????

and the library should have a 'soname' in the binary ELF headers that
causes the dynamic loader, ld to load the library.

This one is up to you, leave it in if you prefer to.

The source of information, here, are the file headers, and the
README or the like that should state the author's intention.
If there is nothing else that 'this is under the GPL', this means
GPL+
that is any version of the GPL, and not GPLv2.
