4. What is unique about embedded derivative works?
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”.
