And there is no requirement to provide source if you include the binaries. So, I can build a project and link it into P9 and as long as no P9 source goes with it I'm ok? The license (Open or Closed) with regard to the project is not relevant. Only whether I provide P9 source. If I do include any source from P9 then I must provide souce to the product/program/extension.
