A statically linked 'executable' is NOT a book with a page ripped out
A statically linked executable is a collective work
comprising its components, constructed by a program
called a linker which combines the components into
a single file by extracting portions of them and
modifying internal references within them. In no
way is the result a verbatim copy of the source code
of its components.
Because the linker operates mechanically, the resulting
file is not a derivative work of its components. It is
simply a modified version of them, and in order to copy
and distribute it, permission from the rights owners of
the components must be obtained.

Yes, just as I said above.
