I think you are talking about linking Emacs with nonfree libraries
that are part of the operating system it is being compiled for. Right?
That's a special case, permitted by the system library exception
in GPL version 3.
We don't distribute these libraries at all, neither sources nor binaries.
Emacs uses them because they are standardly present on the target platform.
