Here's the definition of "such as", taken from 101 USC 17 as well: | The terms "including" and "such as" are illustrative and not | limitative. I find it unconvincing to argue that a program is not a derivative work of a dynamic library just because this case is not properly covered by a non-limitative list of illustrations.
