But those are the same thing.  Copyright attaches to the whole work.
Perhaps what you really want to ask is this:

"Do you mean to deny the copyright interests of others in work they do
 based on yours, or just to retain your copyright on the portions of
 your work which they used?"

Of course, phrased that way, it's perfectly clear which they intend,
because they aren't saying anything about denying others' copyrights
over derivative works.  They merely assert their own.
