So simple question, using DXUT framework in my game, does that makes my game a derivative work? Thanks. (DXUT is a Microsoft DirectX sample that provides a set of common functions to initialize and access DirectX devices and a framework that a DirectX application can be built upon. It is intended to simplify the creation of a new project) edit: added more info [Edited by - LeChuckIsBack on October 26, 2009 10:28:43 AM]

So simple question.....

Your question isn't simple, it is just woefully lacking in meaningful detail.

When asking legal questions (which are almost never simple) don't assume that those people who understand the law will also know about all the various libraries, applications or middleware that exist. Provide links to what it is you are talking about. Then explain how you intend to use it because the manner in which you use something will often make a big difference.
