A derived class, that is inheriting attributes and behaviour from another class is a derivative work. However, I think, since the derived class normally is in a separate file only the LGPL requires it to stay LGPL. The MPL should allow another license for that file/class, even though it is strongly connected to - and definitely does not make sense in any way without - its super/father/base class.
