Not true. It's under the LGPL license and proprietary applications can both dynamically link and statically link against it. The end user needs to be able to replace the library - which is a given with dynamic linking, and can be done with static linking by providing linkable object files rather than a binary (or both). Rust itself relies on plenty of GPL with linking exception / LGPL code like glibc / libgcc / libunwind.
