Does anybody have a summary of the license impacts with respect to MKL licensing on static vs dynamic linking?

Some clauses:

You may use and redistribute the software (the“Software”), without modification
No reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly of this Software is permitted.

My question: does static linking constitute "disassembly" or "modification"?

I figured this might be worth updating the readme or adding a wiki page for. At the very least this should be asked & answered.

the license text (pdf): https://www.intel.com/content/dam/develop/external/us/en/documents/intel-simplified-software-license.pdf
fairly useless intel.com FAQ: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/onemkl-license-faq.html
somebody else on intels forums spooked about this clause (for dynamic linking): https://community.intel.com/t5/oneAPI-Registration-Download/MKL-License-Limited-patent-license/td-p/1285345
