I believe this would count as "use" rather than as "creation of a
derivative work". Copyleft licenses, as a rule, do not in any way
restrict the way a copy of the work may be used by its owner -- indeed,
I believe at least the GPL (not sure about the GFDL) even explicitly
forbids creators of derivative works from imposing such restrictions.
Of course, if such a feature were to be implemented, we could certainly
choose to restrict the use of our server resources in any way we'd like.
But someone else could always download a database dump and use that as
they will.
