I have a question about the Creative Commons ShareAlike licenses. (I
thought I had become fairly knowledgeable about copyright since becoming
involved in Wikipedia, but maybe not ;-)) Does the ShareAlike requirement
apply for *every* reuse of the image, or just for the creation of derivative
works? I had always been under the impression that, for example, a website
using a CC-SA image would have to be CC-SA itself. Is it the case that the
sharing alike would apply only to the image?
Of course, the definition of what exactly constitutes a "derivative work" is
another issue entirely, but it seems I may have been mistaken about one of
the fundamental principles of the CC licenses. Can someone clear this up
for me? (I'd be more than happy to add such a clarification to
[[Commons:Reuse]].)
