IBM Memo has interesting implications for GPL interpretationIBM Memo has interesting implications for GPL interpretationPosted Aug 19, 2004 10:41 UTC (Thu) by hummassa (subscriber, #307)In reply to: IBM Memo has interesting implications for GPL interpretation by ekj Parent article: IBM's summary judgment motion
It depends. Remember that the definition of derivative is "transformation of". If Y was not just added to X, but transformed somehow till the point that XY was possible, then Y *is* a derivative work of X; if Z was transformed in a way that made YZ possible, then Z also is a derivative of X, by way of being a derivative of Y. And this *is* reasonable.
