Any elisp file is bound to use Emacs code as a library.  Think of
`require' as loding other elisp code.  Except that those libraries are
not LGPL'ed, they are GPL'ed.  So that code must also be under the GPL.

This only applies to elisp files.  Not to compiled binary invoked from
within Emacs in a shell.
