not true. licenses do not regulate all of the uses of a work under license. derivatives such as translations or abstracts for a work under a no-deriv license can be made provided you get the permission of the author/copyright holder beforehand. no-derivs doesn't grant you the license to make derivate works, but it doesn't preclude you to obtain the permission to do so.
