Huh!!!? Clarification or recent citation please? As far as I understand it, when moduleA + moduleB = statically linked executable executable IS a derivative work of both moduleA and moduleB. And if sourceA is compiled or translated to create moduleA, then moduleA IS a derivative work of sourceA, (but this is a slightly different question.) Dynamic linking is further different, and your statement may be accurate under that circumstance. -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
