I repeat: I think it depends where and how "based on the desk image
created by Bob" is stated.

Further: a lot of emphasis is put on whether you are trying to credit
Bob with a hand in your work. That is, whether it is a credit. See
http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Patents/1998/345.html if you want
more explanation of both legislation and case law.

I think it's fair that you can't credit upstream with your derivative
or collective if they don't want you to.

Hope that explains,
