Yes. But that is allowed.
You can take his work and use it as allowed by his license to create a
derivative work - his license allows this. What you cannot do is stop someone
taking David Bell's original work and using it under David Bell's license
alone.
The derivative work (the combination) is differently licensed to the original
code he wrote.
