Why does OpenCV link IPP statically?

By default OpenCV links statically to IPP. What is the reason for doing so?

In my application I prefer to link OpenCV to IPP dynamically so I modified the CMakefile that finds IPP. This works, but I'd like to know if there is a catch or a very good reason to not do this.
