Well, reorganizing some preexisting collection to form a new collection
similar to the original but creatively different is probably a
derivative work in which "work" is a collective work just like the
preexisting collective work. But that, of cause, is not what the busybox
contributors and code check-in committers are doing. Hyman is just
playing his "i'm an utter idiot" game on the net as usual.
