Not exactly. I think it would be closer to a languages stdlib being included with a compiler and the use of that stdlib plus the compiler (javac+jdk, for example) would be derivative work.

And libraries typically have their own license.

I wonder if these templates came with a license, or are considered part of the CAD software and not redistributable?
