We seem to have a problem with licences like the GFDL or the CC-by-sa,
for which potential users seem to be uncertain what constitutes
derivative work. Our [[Commons:Reusing content outside Wikimedia]]
says
"You must make your version available under CC-BY-SA."
and
"Any derivative works must stay under the GFDL. When using a photo
placed under the GFDL licence as part of a larger work, the larger
work must also be released under GFDL for usage to be within the
license terms."
This seems to be a problem for people who want to use an image in a
book and cannot release the entirety of the book under the GFDL or the
CC-by-sa.

Maybe we should set up a page
([[Commons:Permission and credits]]?) that
1. Gives "blanket permission" for free licenses (like "By uploading
files under a free license, the author gives permission for everyone
to use them under certain conditions:"; IANAL)
2. Gives an example of an image credit
[[Commons:Reusing content outside Wikimedia]] does 1. For 2., we might
add example credits in each case.
