Indeed, we can't stop users from running nonfree software, or linking
it in with Emacs. Indeed, the GPL says that end users are allowed to link
Emacs with whatever they wish -- but not distribute those nonfree versions.
We don't want Lisp programs to be able to specify nonfree sqlite3
libraries, because those Lisp programs would be effectively nonfree
extensions to Emacs, but people are likely to believe they are allowed
to distribute them.
There is no obvious perfect place to draw a line, but we must do our
best -- and this is it.
