The FAQ is the legal interpretation of the GPL given by the FSF, who are the 
folks who wrote the license, so why would you trust them less than Sun's 
lawyers? And Eben Moglen, whom you misquoted as agreeing with your bizarre 
position, was actually involved in writing both the GPL itself and the FAQ.

The entire work includes any code which is linked into the same executable, 
statically or dynamically. A program is not complete without its required 
libraries, it doesn't work at all without them.
