Nope ... actually running the reflection app with something like 
Assembly.Load() might work well for most of our purposes. This is
not necessarily "linked in" , but the name is provided at runtime.

Huh ? "Derived works" ? .... All I said was "reverse-engineering" . 
Extracting the API via reflection will look better than a C program
which produces the same output by analzying the binary. It's a thin
line of legality (because the EULA restricts reverse-engineering).
