What you read there is completely wrong :-(
The FSF even knows that it is wrong as the FSF did never sue Veritas
for publishing a modified version of GNU tar that links against
close source libs from veritas.
The best you can do is to ignore it and to ask independent lawyers.
I encourage you to read my other post that in depth explains why the FSF
publishes incorrect claims.
