IANAL either, but neither is what matters in the legal sense; "derived
work" is what matters.  Linking is just an indicator (that is not 100%)
of a derived work.

As for when the linking is done, (static at build, dynamic at load,
dynamic during run), that makes zero difference as to whether something
is a derived work.
