hmm. That talks of data mining not of derivative work from the mined data. ... I'll leave the discussion to others, though.
What effect would a Creative Commons "ND" clause have? Is it reserving the right to make derivatives? And would machine generated stuff even count as a derivative?

DuckDuckGo translate:

Copyright and Related Rights Act (Copyright Act) § 44b Text and Data Mining

(3) Uses pursuant to subsection (2) sentence 1 shall only be permitted if the rights holder has not reserved them. A reservation of use for works accessible online is only effective if it is made in machine-readable form.

None of that says anything about creating profitable derivative work. In fact is specifies patterns, trends and correlations, which does not lead me to believe it is protecting visual works created from this data, those kind of things are only used to inform things, like information science.
