No, it is not a derivative work. It is an implementation of the
interface defined in the pkcs#11 specs. That is what interfaces are
for and it is also what the EU vs MS case is about: Releasing the
specs of the interface and not the actual code.
Header files which are more complicate than a simple list of constants
are subject to copyright and thus it is required to obey the
conditions RSA Inc set forth in the copyright notices of
pkcs11{,f,t}.h.

It is the same thing as with OpenSSL. You can't use it with GPL
software because the GPL does not allow restrictions beyond those
defined by the GPL.
