Well neither you nor I are lawyers but folks at eg Software Freedom Conservancy (https://sfconservancy.org/) and Software Freedom Law Center (https://www.softwarefreedom.org/) are, and they have views on this that differ from yours.
I don't recall stating my views on this topic. My goal in this exchange was to provide differing legal opinion (via the link) to the FSF's notion of "derivative work" in the case of dynamic linking. If by your additional comments you mean to suggest that someone should approach the issue cautiously, I couldn't agree more. But, until this is resolved in court, behaving as though the matter is already settled is duplicitous, in my opinion. But this is hastily drifting away from the original topic, and I apologize for causing the digression. -Drew
