Dear Lazyweb
I figure at least a handful of y'all know a little something about the Creative Commons...
If a work is under the CC "no derivatives" clause, does that mean I can't use it as a TV show soundtrack? It's not clear to me whether the admonition means that I can't make a new piece of the same kind of media out of it - use it as a sample in my own composition, that is - or whether I can't redistribute it in any form at all other than the pure-audio shape I found it in.
Edit Aw nuts, The CC FAQ sez yes it is derivative.

no subject
It's a double-edged bit of knowledge... I'm cut off from one pool of music, but I shall now sample from another with impunity.
