Yes, this would include derived works.  It's a "use it, abuse it,
don't blame me..." style license :-)

However, patches/improvements are *encouraged* to be submitted back for
inclusion in the original distribution.  This is not mandatory, and
there are several companies using TclXML for commercial, proprietary
systems right now.
