I believe this is somewhat the same mess about GPL and dynamic linking. http://lwn.net/2001/0628/a/esr-modules.php3 No one is able to figure what it means and from what I understand from Eric Raymond post this is somewhat 'oh wait, I'm saying this but this is subject to change anytime and anyway this can be overruled by a legal decision some day depending on how they interpret it. For now I say this but eh, good luck.' Awesome. All this 'smoke' is I believe absolutely intentional to reserve room for future legal actions in case an entity becomes a little bit 'annoying'.
