A user can lawfully write a nonfree program for private use that dynamically links in a GPL3-covered module, just as a user can lawfully copy GPL3-covered code plus nonfree code into a program for private use. However, _distribution_ of such a nonfree combination would violate GPLv3. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
