I strongly agree with this. It is simply impossible for many content producers—for example, newspaper or textbook publishers—to release their entire works under a viral copyleft license, but including a CC-BY-SA photo with a mention of the license is perfectly acceptable. I believe that an all-or nothing approach here will elicit a unanimous "nothing!" from these commercial content producers: requiring all reusers to release their stuff under CC-BY-SA will be unacceptable, and so they won't use *any* copyleft content. We'd just be shooting ourselves in the foot.

Not true. About 6/7? years ago the new scientist ran an article on copyleft. since they wanted to include an OpenCola recipe they released the article under some form of copyleft license.
