Which probably reflects a lack of understanding of copyright law as much
as anything else.
For the case of U.S. copyright law dynamic linking not explicitly provided
for in the license is a fair use issue, not a "this isn't covered by
copyright law" issue.
At least... that's the way I currently understand it. [And, if anyone
can provide some legal reference which proves that I'm wrong, I'd be
happy to see it.]
