Making a derivative involves direct use of a substantial portion of
the material, and adaptation to something different, e.g. translation
to another language, or absorption into a longer and different
publication.
Using ideas isn't prevented. Nor is the use of terms, definitions,
or quotations, even quite lengthy ones.
(In my case, I need the protection that 'no derivatives' affords me,
because I say things that annoy people - and, to a considerable
extent, I *intend* to annoy them. I can't afford people having a
licence to reproduce and adapt my material outside my control: hang
me for what I said if you have to, but not for what someone makes me
appear to have said).
