Additionally, creating a work while heavily referencing another work can
technically cause your new work to be considered a derivative work. I
don't know how fine the boundary has been defined, but the argument has
been made that if you use the same algorithms or implement compatible
API's, a case can be made for calling it a derivative work. Yay IP law.
