ROFL. I thought that sysadmin will share it with computer. ;-) 

Ok, next question. And what creative undertaking in the creation (the 
moment the program is run) of that "derivative work" can be attributed 
to the copyright holders of the program and/or the library? Suppose 
that both their preexisting copyrights happen to expire the moment the 
program is run... who gets the copyright on that "derivative work"?
