Actually, it would, because it's not a work based on the Program
(Quagga). It's a collective work containing a work based on the
Program. (see blenderized equine on d-l archives)

It's nice to hear someone else come to this conclusion. Is this guy
still chair of the technical committee? After his inane thinly veiled
threats in http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2004/04/msg00090.html ?
In a way, I'm glad I didn't Google him before; I would have been
unable to take him seriously enough to research my rebuttals well had
I realized that he is the local Mouth of RMS. :-)
(Note: in my limited experience, RMS himself is a far more coherent
and fair debater than his apparent proxies.)
