You *are* linking to a non-free library, that is the point; did you
not read my previous email?  D-Bus or X11 is simply being used in the
sense of an ABI translator, in this instance.  This is no different
than linking in a high-level interpreted language, or via a CORBA or
RMI interface.  Do not confuse dynamic linking via ld.so with logical
linking.
