If you want to distribute non-Free software that uses Free software
components, I have no sympathy for you whatsoever.  You want to have your
cake (use high-quality libraries for which you get source code and don't
have to pay a penny to distribute as part of your software) and eat it too
(not have to comply with the request that you make your software Free as
well).

Why are you surprised that you can't use Free software to write non-Free
software?  The *whole point* of the GPL is to not only preserve but expand
the Free software ecosystem.  Have you been asleep for the last 20 years?
