> If you use any 3P library it’s a derived dependency by law. Is that what you are arguing? It’s settled law at this point.
Is it? So if I, the author of non-copyleft A, want to use copyleft library B, it's illegal if I use `dlopen` but legal if I use a socket or a pipe? That's absurd. Either both are illegal or both are legal, and I've yet to see evidence that it's the former.
IOW, I've yet to see evidence that licenses apply across dlopen bounds. It's a meme in our industry that it does, but does it really? Where's the data?
