In our entry on open content [http://www.textmapping.org/logos.html#openContent], we provide our reasoning for offering our works under the teacher-friendly, share-alike terms of the CCPL [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0]. Having done that, we are concerned that the rights which we have reserved for ourselves should be respected.
For this reason, we regard the question of "derivative works" as one of primary importance. Even as we encourage you - through the teacher-friendly, share-alike terms of our license - to collaborate with us by redistributing and improving upon our works, we must caution you that the terms of our license do require that all "derivative works" be copyrighted under the CCPL [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0].
In simple terms, "A derivative work is a work that is based on, or incorporates, one or more already existing works." [source: http://www.legal-definitions.com/derivative-work.htm].
The term "derivative works" is defined in the CCPL [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0], in the "Definitions" section of the full license [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/legalcode].
Title 17, Section 101 of the United States Code [17 U.S.C. § 101] defines the term "derivative works" as follows:
A "derivative work" is a work based upon one or more preexisting works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications, which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a "derivative work".
Black's Law Dictionary [5th Edition, (1979) West Publishing, St. Paul] provides the following definition for the term "derivative":
Derivative: Coming from another; taken from something preceding; secondary. That which has not its origin in itself, but owes its existence to something foregoing. Anything obtained or deduced from another.
