I knew you'll bite. That's why I've omitted "as such" and said just
linking, not "linking as such". It's just like the upcoming EU patent 
law harmonization directive and "software as such". Bwahahah.

Seriously, if A and B are independent works in the copyright sense
(as literary works), the fact that A "calls" B (references it) makes 
neither A nor aggregation A+B a derivative work of B. It's a mere
aggregation (Sammelwerk), not a derivative work (Bearbeitung).
