US Copyright Office Circular 14: Derivative Works notes that:

    A typical example of a derivative work received for registration
in the Copyright Office is one that is primarily a new work but
incorporates some previously published material. This previously
published material makes the work a derivative work under the
copyright law. To be copyrightable, a derivative work must be
different enough from the original to be regarded as a "new work" or
must contain a substantial amount of new material. Making minor
changes or additions of little substance to a preexisting work will
not qualify the work as a new version for copyright purposes. The new
material must be original and copyrightable in itself. Titles, short
phrases, and format, for example, are not copyrightable.

es decir que segun esto, pequeños cambios no estarian prohibidos.

o sea no estaria prohibido usar el scilab comercialmente aun con
pequeñas correcciones o modificaciones de errores.
