Unfortunately, no, that doesn't work without specific guidance from the relevant copyright owner(s). Specifically, it *is* part of the work. Absent a clear declaration to the contrary from the FSF's lawyer, I would say David's is the conservative position, and I'm surprised that Richard doesn't see it that way. I can't reverse engineer his statement to get the logic that led to it, but I might be missing something.
