It is fine for Emacs to link in a general-purpose library which is
releasde under a GPL-compatible free license, as long as that library
is developed, released and built separately from Emacs, and comes with
clear instructions about how to call it properly.
We can be flexible about this because we don't have to maintain that
library. We only have to use it.
Emacs links in many such libraries already.
