Hyman, I don't understand your desire to infect separate and independeant works via static linking and at the same time your desire to not penetrate the infection through the dynamic linking.
It has nothing to do with my desire, and everything to do with simple facts. If you're copying and distributing a combined work, you must have permission from the rights holders of the components. If you're copying and distributing a work which does not incorporate other components, then the rights holders of those components cannot demand that you abide by the copyrights of those components. The inability to separate fact from wish is one of the hallmarks of a crank.
