The closest thing I could find there is the following:
| This section applies where, contrary to the fact-
|
| (a) a literary, dramatic or musical work is falsely represented as
| being an adaptation of the work of a person, or
|
| (b) a copy of an artistic work is falsely represented as being a copy
| made by the author of the artistic work,
|
| as it applies where the work is falsely attributed to a person as
| author.
It speaks about "false attribution": I cannot imagine how stating "This
image is based on the desk image created by Bob" could be considered as
false attribution...
