Q4. Derivative work

Art 1 b) A derivative work means....
CCPL: ... any other form in which the Work may be ... adapted, except that a work that constitutes a Collective work will not be
considered a Derivative Work...

BE-CCPL.nl: ...of elke andere vorm waarin het Werk ... bewerkt kan worden, met uitzondering van de Collectieve werken, die niet als Afgeleide werken zullen beschouwd worden...
BE-CCPL.fr: ...ou toute autre forme sous laquelle l'Oeuvre peut être...adaptée, à l'exception des Oeuvres Collectives, qui ne seront pas considérées comme des Oeuvres Dérivées...

From a strictly logical standpoint, the Belgian version says:
A Work that is transformed constitutes a Derivative work, except if _it_ is a Collective work.

What is _it_? The initial work? The transformed work?

In the first case: you can transform a collective work into another work, without having a derivative work as a result. This is not what the CCPL means.
In the latter case: if upon transformation you have a collective work, the result is not a derivative work.
This is what the CCPL means.

This could be solved by putting the exception in a separate sentence:
BE-CCPL.nl*: Een uitzondering geldt voor Collectieve werken, die niet als Afgeleide werken zullen beschouwd worden in de zin van deze licentie.
BE-CCPL.fr*: Par exception, les Oeuvres collectives ne seront pas considérées comme des Oeuvres dérivées aux termes de la présente licence.
