Derivative Work

Refers to a work based upon one or more pre-existing 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. Derivative works consist of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship.
