From <http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20080909014304275>,
quoting from the decision:
By condensing, synthesizing, and reorganizing the preexisting
material in an A-to-Z reference guide, the Lexicon does not
recast the material in another medium to retell the story of
Harry Potter, but instead gives the copyrighted material another
purpose. That purpose is to give the reader a ready understanding
of individual elements in the elaborate world of Harry Potter
that appear in voluminous and diverse sources. As a result, the
Lexicon no longer "represents [the] original work[s] of
authorship." 17 U.S.C. ยง 101. Under these circumstances, and
because the Lexicon does not fall under any example of derivative
works listed in the statute, Plaintiffs have failed to show that
the Lexicon is a derivative work.
Look at this, and then tell me that a court will find that a program
which dynamically links to a library is a derivative work of that
library.
