stevie ray ripped off noone. he dressed like jimi but he playedlike an amalgasm of his idols, whichg is what every one does. jimi included. tons of texas blues men exist all feeding each other and all influencing each other. Stevie Ray Vaughn was distinctive. his guitar playing is distinctive. when you hear him you know it is him. blues is not a medium heavy on innovation, more like inspiration and self expressions. the innovations are subtle. so your statements about him being derivative just show your lack of knowledge bout the blues and electric blues guitar.
