The FSF is full of it too. You have no control over which shared 
libraries are distributed and used with what. It would be like creating 
a copyright notice that you can't put a notebook full of notes in an 
arbitrary binder and sell it because you don't like the copyright on the 
contents of the rest of the binder, even though the notes can be sold 
separately, next to each other.
