Sorry, thats not true. The binary is obviously a 'substantial portion

includes the opinion of the FSF as well e.g. the OReilly-Book

written more precise in this regards: Redistributions of source code

Its another forth and back pendelum: People whine, "so much words, so
complicated, no one understands it", than you come up with a short
concise one, people whine "so ambitious, can't it be more clear what
it means if this and that and thus condition?".

The "derived from", if one insist on choosing that implication, changes the scope, it is no longer the same statement. A binary is a transformation; it is not the same entity.

OK, sorry I tried, I give up, you fellows enjoy yourselves. I will end this here.
