The license of a software product cannot affect software that is not even aware 
of that said product.  (A patent, or a trademark can.)  It governs the use of 
that product, not of others.  "Features of this library" means really features 
of *that* library, as specifically implemented in that library.

If a license for one specific software product could affect all other software 
with such a primitive clause, I don't want to think how Richard Stallman would 
have worded the GPL :)
