Hence, in the GNU Republic, linking creates a "derived work" (see 
the GNU Copyleft Act) akin to (quoting renowned GNUtian Alan 
Mackenzie) "embryo which is derived from the egg and sperm." 

Accordingly, GNUtians believe that linking is akin to sex without 
condoms (and that it is not oral or anal) resulting in 100% rate 
of embryo (partner is a side effect) contamination by the GPL 
virus.
