I’m pretty sure that it can. For GPLv2 linking was named by the GPL as
the limit, but that’s not inherent to copyright: the license gives you
some rights, and if you’re outside what the license allows *and* outside
what some copyright exception in the law allows, you’re not allowed to
use it at all.

Best wishes,
Arne
