I believe this is only as a result of the linking exception; I don't know if this has ever been tested, but my understanding was that linking (either statically or dynamically) against a library was generally considered enough to be a derivative work.
- dathinab 6y agoMy last heads up a fiew years ago was: Legally people can't decide which form of linkage count as deriving and if the linkage form even matter, but static linking with LTO is most times seen as causing a derivative to be produced.
