The license of a software product cannot affect software that is not even aware of that said product. (A patent, or a trademark can.) It governs the use of that product, not of others. "Features of this library" means really features of *that* library, as specifically implemented in that library.
If a license for one specific software product could affect all other software with such a primitive clause, I don't want to think how Richard Stallman would have worded the GPL :)
