But you do not merely "use" libraries, you include them in the

"Included" in the sense of compiling that code into your own, or simply
having their library file added in with your collection of files?

The interesting case is where source is distributed that, when compiled links to both GPL'd and non-GPL'd libraries. The FSF would like us to believe that such source cannot legally be distributed unless there is an equivalent non-GPL'd library that could be used as a substitute for the GPL'd one. Or the equivalent case where binaries are distributed that do the same run time linking with shared libraries.
