This links talk about linking my GPLed program with a non-free lib. I
think this point is quite clear, i as the copyright holder of the
program can give a special permission to link again this non-free lib.
The question is, what happens if i use also an GPLed lib in the same
program were i don't have the copyright?
Than i can't give a special permission for the GPLed lib. So if linking
a program with two libs creates a derivated work of each other, than i
can't do it until i have a permission form the copyright holder of the
GPLed lib.
