The exception is that, if you link the GUILE library with other files

Your use of that executable is in no way restricted on account of
linking the GUILE library code into it.
This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why
the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License.
This exception applies only to the code released by the
Free Software Foundation under the name GUILE. If you copy
code from other Free Software Foundation releases into a copy of
GUILE, as the General Public License permits, the exception does
not apply to the code that you add in this way. To avoid misleading
anyone as to the status of such modified files, you must delete
this exception notice from them.
If you write modifications of your own for GUILE, it is your choice
whether to permit this exception to apply to your modifications.
If you do not wish that, delete this exception notice.
