Our target is everywhere. So no, not possible on many platforms.
And the terms become more restrictive with every iteration. That general theme may be present but in the end you have to conform exactly to how the license is written. The verbiage about linkages etc becomes meaningless on some platform (those without a loader for instance). Where does that leave you, legally? I learn to never ask a lawyer techical engineering questions - like the old line about teaching a pig to sing.
Your last point is actually pretty wrong.
I've helped write linkers and loaders, and can sit around and have a combined technical and legal discussion about the impacts of linking in various ways all day if you like.
If you've learned never to ask a lawyer technical engineering questions, you need better lawyers.
Realistically, if your lawyers don't actually understand how your code operates or what it does, at a deep technical level, the advice they give is not going to be all that great or even right.
