As Chris says, the case law (that we know of) says that tracing is not
derivative, so this doesn't arise.
See Bauman v Fussell, Antiquesportfolio v Fitch, and Ets-Hokin v Skyy
Spirits. (I've blogged at tedious length about this.) A good summary
from Christina Michalos's 'The Law of Photography and Digital Images':
Very well, I was misguided by TeleAtlas legal battering on tracing their
imagery.

If we make this statement clear when people are uploading data, that would
essentially be informing people ahead of time "If you disagree with this
legal interpretation, OAM probably isn't for you; scoot"; by doing so,
hopefully we would prevent people who feel differently from uploading their
imagery (and then suing tracers later).
I'm also in favour of this approach
