Does cropping make a derivative work

chrisspurgeon  Pro User  says:

I want to respect the restrictions flickr members place upon their CC licensed works, so I thought I would ask if simply cropping a photo constitutes creating a derivative work. If so, fair enough, I'll only crop CC photos that don't have the "No Derivative Works" clause.

Quite simply - yes. B/c making tangible alteration that is recorded in tangible form.

striatic says:

the relevant sections of a "no-derivs" license:

"Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or sound recording, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License."

so an "abridgment" or a "condensation" are definatly derivations from the original work.
