Well, sorry, but apparently I'm not as smart as you; even reading carefully I can't see the answer to whether a dynamic language import/require/load/whatever counts as a derivative work.

See, that's my point exactly. I'd like to use GPL'd code, and I'd like to help my clients do the same. But since I can't get good answers to questions like these, I have to simply avoid GPL'd code like the plague. And that leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

I would be so grateful if you posted an answer key:)

If I can find straight answers, I'll post 'em. Problem is I'm afraid that the answer, in each case, is "it depends; consult an attorney."
