No, dynamic linking does not change things (some people, especially
programmers, wonder if it changes what is legally possible, but it
appears that the lawyers think that it doesn't).

What makes it possible to distribute GPLed applications for
proprietary platforms (starting with the original GNU tools on
proprietary Unices) is the exception for the operating system and
system libraries.
