Whether work BAR is, or is not, a derivative work from FOO is a matter of copyright law. The chosen license can't change that. The FSF has published explanations of what legal advice they have received, but the nuances of exactly what constitutes deriving a work under copyright law is a matter of considerable disagreement. Especially, as illustrated by the text you quote, corporations try very hard to find ways they can base their work on code under a copyleft license, without invoking the copyleft license obliging them to contribute the work back as free software. -- \ “Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a | `\ finite world is either a madman or an economist.” —Kenneth | _o__) Boulding | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
