Again, IANAL, but because the GPL uses copyright law, I think the key
question is whether one is creating a derivative work. It does not
really matter what technical means are employed to create the
derivative. A court may eventually decide that linking (static,
dynamic, or otherwise) does not create a derivative work. But until
then, I will stick with the FSF interpretation.
