You should purchase a separate license from the Mutter authors...

I don't think so. You can work without a HW accelerated OpenGL library, by using the software renderer of things like MESA, and your system would run all the same (slow, but still run). The exception is thought just to mean: hey, if you do a Tic-Tac-Toe program for Windows in GPLv2, you don't need to provide also the source code or the executables of all the libraries you link to if they are critical system ones, like user32.dll, ntoskrnl.dll or, in Unixland, pthread.so or vmlinux. It would be unpractical, and sometimes outright impossible. That doesn't mean you can link to non-GPLv2 executables as you see fit.
