So, GPL FAQ on FSF web-site <http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html> is worth reading. It represents their thought.
* If a library is released under the GPL (not the LGPL), does that mean that any program which uses it has to be under the GPL? <http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html#IfLibraryIsGPL>
* Why are some GNU libraries released under the ordinary GPL rather than the Lesser GPL? <http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html#WhySomeGPLAndNotLGPL>
* I am writing free software that uses non-free libraries. What legal issues come up if I use the GPL? <http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html#TOCWritingFSWithNFLibs>
