I am pretty sure that rewriting, redrawing, tracing and making other derivative 
works is not cancelling
 copyright on the original work.

See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Derivative_works 
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Derivative_works> for exploration 
about
this topic in a bit different context, but nearly everything should be 
applicable and is describing
situation well.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_work> is also relatively readable
