Hi Ilmari,
Am I reading this correctly that you imply that a relationship arising from package A calling library(B), or having a more Imports or Depends on it, would lead to same GPL "virality" as having actual object code from an external package? The latter case (ie object code and linking) clearly is what the GPL has in mind, where virality matters, and where it is commonly applied. The established consensus, as best as I can tell, always has been is that the former (an R package calling another R package) is not, and the virality argument you are making does not apply. So I think you are fighting a fighting that does not exist.
