I mean public as in an api that other code can call. Hmmmm, I see that now but that still does not make my code a derivative according to the legal definition. As a theme author I am not taking the GPL'd code and doing anything with it. I am not copying it. I am not modifying it. I am using an api that you created to hook into and that is all. I don't think a court is going to see that simple hook as "derivative".
