Huh!!!?

Clarification or recent citation please?  

As far as I understand it, when

   moduleA + moduleB = statically linked executable

executable IS a derivative work of both moduleA and moduleB.

And if sourceA is compiled or translated to create moduleA,
then moduleA IS a derivative work of sourceA, (but this
is a slightly different question.)

Dynamic linking is further different, and your statement
may be accurate under that circumstance.
