No Derivative Works

"No Derivative Works" is a legal term meaning that you cannot create new works based on someone else's original work without permission. For example, you can't modify, remix, or adapt the original content to produce something new. This restriction helps protect the creator’s rights and intent, ensuring their original work remains unchanged and is protected from alterations that they haven't approved. It applies to various types of creative works like books, music, art, and software, and maintains the integrity and control of the original creator over how their work is used.
