If my program uses calls on proprietary Microsoft SDKs, or calls
subroutines in a library supplied with the compiler, that's OK. But
I understand that if my program uses anything from some other proprietary
library (a binding to something, or device drivers, say), then I cannot
sell, give, or in any way distribute a binary copy of my program, since it
clearly could not contain complete source. Correct?
