   But what if I write class B that inherits from class A, and create and
   manipulate an instance of class B in my work -- is my work a "work based on
   the library" or a "work that uses the library"?

It was definately my intention in the first draft that what you wanted
to do be "use" of the library rather than its modification.  That
appears still to be true.  Inhereitance isn't mentioned explicitly
because we didn't want to restrict the kinds of libraries or languages
with which this could be used.
