Exactly my point.  Everything is about derived works.  So binaries
cannot be exempt from the requirement that the work as a whole can
only be distributed under a license that permits free redistribution
and that additional restrictions cannot be added.  If you want to
refute that, please quote the section stating what you think permits
it.
