What Is “Derivative work or Design”
A “derivative design” is a design that is made from another design/graphic resource, whether it is from the whole design or just a part. Derivative, means “made from”.
A “Derivative Work or Design” also means that the change in the design should have a substantial difference from the original design.
You are “deriving” or “making” a new, secondary work/design by changing someone else’s original work, a derivative work must be different enough from the original to be considered a “new work” . This is legal and ethical. However the original designer must permit his/her work to be used in this way.
In terms of fair and legal market practice, whether free or a paid for design/graphic resource, you agree with the licensing, licensing fee or royalty and honor the Terms of Use for that graphic/design resource you use in your work.
Copyright?
The derivative-work owner does not own the copyright in the preexisting material employed in the work but holds the exclusive ownership in the new derivative work.
The derivative-work owner holds all copyright rights in the new work created, including the right to license and transfer the derivative work to a third party.
