In fact the "normal" situation is that you are allowed to make
derivatives (adaptations) without any kind of permission and the creator
of the derivative work gets 100% of the copyright, but he needs
permission from the copyright holder of the "original" work to publish
and distribute his adaptation. In a common law jurisdictions you need
permission to create adaptations.
