Assume you write a module for Drupal. Any meaningful module to Drupal implements at least one hook. That alone makes the module a derived work of Drupal.
this is wrong. it is an over zealous attempt to extend the legal coverage of copyright and licensing laws. you may interface to software as you like, what you cannot do is copy and modify and distribute that software as your own. i believe this would be defeated in court as were proprietry software vendors when attempting the same trick. i would also assert it is also an infrigement on the freedoms of free software and a direct contradiction of what free software is about. i would re-state what an earlier poster said which is, it would be better to put together a list of copyright holders and correct current licensing discrepancies. then tackle how you wish to address this issue internally. only then should you start propounding this sort of dictum.
