The program in question is under a free software license that respects users' freedom and community: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

But it does not work without another program (or, more probably, a library) under a proprietary software license that does not respect users' freedom and community.

As a consequence there actually actually is no way to use the free software program in complete freedom. For instance, in the late 90s, KDE could not be used in complete freedom: although it was free software, it depended on Qt, which was, at that time, proprietary.
