The legal issue here has nothing whatsoever to do with open-source
licenses: the exact same issue comes up with proprietary licenses and
that, in fact, is where most of the precedents come from.
The legal issue is in the definition of a "derived work" and what kind
of separation is needed between two programs ("works") to be able to
successfully assert that one is not a derived work of the other.
