this FAQ should answer your question: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/ 
FAQ#What_is_a_derivative_work.3F

or you can enjoy reading the Legal Code and see the last para of  
clause 3:

"The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether  
now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to  
make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the  
rights in other media and formats. All rights not expressly granted  
by Licensor are hereby reserved."

hope that answers your question.
