Uh, no. The interfaces and purpose of programming code under the GPL are (theoretically) well defined. One can change the functionality of a GPL program without deriving from the original GPL code.
A derivative only applies when you copy and paste derivative code into your modification. A derivative only applies when your code makes calls to the original code AND the resulting binary linked (whether statically or dynamically) together with the original program.
Implementing your own functionality that is compatible with the original's interface and does not necessarily mean it is a derivative of the code. It is completely possible to implement your own 100% compatible functions without deriving from the original.
It is absolutely unnecessary. If you had any interest in the content of this board to begin with, you would post anonymously. But it seems you're more worried about what people think about you than about discussing programming related topics.

Identity is not a requirement for discussion. That's what this entire site is about.

No, you're only interested in gathering attention. As you have observed, posting with name and tripcode only distracts from genuine on-topic discussion.
Did you know that sometimes problems are your fault, and not always someone else's?
Indirect communication requires a routable path to an observer, not identity.

Have you read any of the messages posted on this board that occurred because `you' posted? Are you proclaiming that this is not due to your name/tripcode?
Whether or not `I' can is irrelevant (as I am not the only person here).

Which is not an issue, since the identity of the poster was not relevant to begin with. Your identity proves absolutely nothing. Only references to credible sources do.

You are a tripfag. I address all tripfags who do attempt to use an identity.

Could you actually address what is being said for once instead of handwaving?

>>197 but because the content of message was worthy of reply. No.
Would I get any replies if i only posted my name and tripcode,without any text content?
Yes.
