The best answer to this frequently asked question is in
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-cplfaq.html.

Esp. see answers 13-19. Those should put your mind at ease.

(Note that you are not going to get a satisfactory definition of 'derivative
work' from anyone. You can always ask the IBM lawyers at opensrc@xxxxxxxxxx.
If you actually get a response, please let the rest of us know. ;-)
