Here's the definition of "such as", taken from 101 USC 17 as well:
| The terms "including" and "such as" are illustrative and not
| limitative.
I find it unconvincing to argue that a program is not a derivative work
of a dynamic library just because this case is not properly covered by a
non-limitative list of illustrations.
