The problem is that GFDL really doesn't allow that kind of content-mixing. It's more strongly viral than CC-by-SA.

For CC-BY-SA, you have to both tag or list its license info and the

can't keep people from scanning or copying the images and then redistributing them again).
Two questions:
- Is the "no restriction on redistribution" not also true of the GFDL?
- While you cannot restrict further redistribution of the pictures in
the
book, does the copyright status of the images impact that overall copyright of the document in which they are redistributed? (I'm guessing not). _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that one can include CC-BY-SA in an otherwise copyrighted work, as long as you credit and don't restrict further redistribution of the CC-BY-SA parts. The key term here is that the book becomes a Collective Work, with the CC-BY-SA works (images, text, whatever) being component parts of a larger whole.
