The way the question was worded,

Is pretty clear. All gas springs "contain oil within their sealed housing". The GDC did not define "a minuscule amount", but I would say that if there is a pool of liquid oil in the housing, there is more than a minuscule amount, and therefore this answer makes pneumatic springs in general illegal.
I don't believe that is the intent of the GDC, I just believe that there is a lack of understanding of the construction of a gas spring.
