It's an interesting thought experiment.

I agree that GPL doesn't get it's "teeth" unless linking creates a derivative work. The FSF (and Linus) for that matter have Opinions about what does,though, so I'm curious how and whether this ruling changes those.

I don't know whether to be thankful or not that there's still a circuit split in the US over what constitutes a derivative work in the software realm.
