I'd agree, making calls to another's code does not mean that it's derived calls.
For example, I have written a tool that allows the testing of Oracle packages by calling the functions/procedures from values provided on a web page. Does that mean that I have extended Oracle in any way?
Similarly with websites, when you make your call back to the server for a new web page you are directly calling a server procedure (regardless of the protocol which is similar to a call stack) but no one would argue that browsers are extending servers.
