I am not sure. Is it a derivative of the content? I think the question
is the same as: is a picture of a monument a derivative of that
monument? You may want to ask wikipedians about that.
Is it a derivative of the code? I doubt it, I see the code as being the
tool that allowed the shooter to generate the image, just as GIMP or a
paint brush would be.
