I'd say that in the context of new boost license, "derivative work" is 
a work that includes some {transformed} copyrighted expressions of ideas 
such that the result would constitute an infringement if made without 
authorization of the owner(s) of the copyright in the original work. The 
distinction between idea and expression may be difficult and in order to 
understand recursion you must first understand recursion. IANALBIPOOTN.
