Consider what happens if we make a print version of Wikipedia with color images in black and white? Is that a derived work?
Meh. Possibly a derivative work under some laws, I don't know.
Though CC-BY-ND, for instance, explicitly allows transfer to different media, and modifications necessary for such.
I'm not sure you realize how all-encompassing the definition of derivative work is. Having a ND means that any use not directly specified is going to probably put you into a "fair use" zone.
It is not a free license in any respect. It is really just a notice which says, "feel free to print out some more copies of these and distribute them if you want without charge." That's not within the definition of free content at all — it's the wrong type of "free."
