I haven't found any nonfree dependencies and couldn't find any details about 
them on f-droid.

Not your fault. Explanations are hard to find. I think the average visitors 
would easily desist. Explanations: [...]
Here it says about Linphone iOS 
https://www.linphone.org/news/last-integrations-and-release (so maybe this 
issue is also about the iOS version of linphone)

This issue seems to be about the android version I haven't found any 
information about this binary library being used in the desktop version.

Can users of the free versions chat, audio-call or video-call with users of the 
non-free binary?


It seems reasonable that they can.
