Well... since Ondrej's script hasn't been run *yet* (it just sits in my mailbox), it hasn't been dynamically linked to sage *yet*. It follows that it isn't a derived work *yet*. But obviously, Ondrej's script *will* become a derived work of Sage when somebody *runs it* somewhere. Thus, the GPL shares amazing properties with quantum mechanics and schrodinger's cat.
