Yeah, I think the meaning was there, but the language was still a bit
unclear. Here's a nice place to look for ideas on how to rework the
language.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_work
The section on Software is probably the closest match, and I believe
this is the key sentence,
"If the original software is modified to create the new program, a
derived work is created."
