   When you take third party code and combine that code with NOSA'd
   code, it is neither modification nor Modification, [...]

The end product is a modification, yes.  The creation that is added to
create the modification is not the `Contributor's original creation'
though.

   Read all about "Larger Work" as spelled in both DEFINITIONS and
   OBLIGATIONS OF RECIPIENT sections in

Which has nothing to do with this, since it isn't a `Larger work' that
is being used.
