believe that run-time linking of an object module as a result of
explicit user action (i.e. not part of the predestined lifetime of the
process) is semantically distinct from dynamic linking. put another
way, if you cannot look at the executable and determine that it will
link a particular object module during its lifetime, it is very, very
hard for me to see how the plugin can be considered a derivative work
of the host (assuming the APIs are not host specific etc etc etc).
Exactly my view as well.
