Bzzt. According to the FSF, "static linking creates a derivative work
through textual copying". By that silly logic, even if you have
permission to reproduce something, you just can't prepare compilations
(hint: newspapers, catalogs, etc.) unless you also have permission to
prepare derivative works.
