There might be one difference: The creator of the derivative work might
be licensing his work differently than the original work, maybe even
saying "no republishing".  Unless the PDF is a mere automated
translation to PDF, when the derivative would not be granted a new
copyright on the translation because the deriver has added nothing
worthy of copyright.  Compilations are usually granted copyright.


P.S. This thread was hard to read.  Some people (not you, Nik) really
should study how to quote more clearly, or be more careful.
