hi pix,
and thanks, you are right (I hope), but where is the dividing line? What is really the meaning of a derived work (in a moral sense, not legally)?
In my generator/ftable case, it is quite likely, that they are all based on some prior art, so I think I will simply use Pd license...

one thing i always found strange about these licences is that they really only cover the monkey-work of software engineering. i'm not sure if there is anything stopping a company from getting another monkey to 'reinterpret' some open source code and close the resulting project.
