B) me (and I guess a few others who are not lawyers, either):As GPL only really talks about derived works, in order to decide if the GPL applies to a work we must try to see if the new work is derived from a GPLd work, or not.
FWIW, this is also my POV after reading some of the discussions.However, if debian-legal decides that this in incorrect, I'll move my packages back to contrib. I don't want to maintain packages when building them with the "wrong" core classes implementation causees them to be undistributable. In this case I might even have to add build conflicts with all GPL'ed class libraries. :-(
