Are you arguing that combining a program work, and audio work, and a
graphic work, all together into a single game work where all of the
parts form the running game, is not creating a derived work under
copyright law?
It seems likely to me that under most copyright jurisdictions, the game
would be a derived work of all of them, and the copyright of all of them
would thereby apply to the game as a whole.
