Ok, but where it is saying that a GPL app cannot use a non GPL
library?
I think the faq has been written from the point of view
of someone who tries to use a GPL library in a closed
source program.
Here we have a GPL app that may be using a closed source
library. Unless the license of the library forbids that,
it should be fine, right?
