A work MUST include a substantial portion of the original work to be
considered a derivative work. It will usually be an adaptation or
translation of the original. Extensions to the original are only
considered derivatives if they include the original, in whole or a
substantial portion. I've already provided a link to copyright.gov in
this thread with an explanation.

Once again, I stress: DEPENDENCE ON DOES NOT EQUAL DERIVATION OF

If you can find me one piece of solid, legally authoritative information
(like, something in the CFR or still-valid case-law), then I might be
willing to consider your argument.

Consider this example. Below, I quote a small portion of your email
(which is a small fraction of this thread as a whole) to give context to
this message. This quotation is well within the limits of fair-use. Even
though you have automatic copyright on your contributions to this
thread, the quote below is not considered to be infringing on your
copyright due to fair-use. In addition, this email is not considered to
be a derivative work of your email. It does not translate or adapt your
original, it merely references it for context. This email is also not a
derivative of the thread for the same reasons. This email does DEPEND ON
your email and the thread for full context and usefulness, but it is not
DERIVED FROM either.
