Hi Tomasz, I'm not an expert in this, but the legal team at WMF interprets the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) references in sections 4(a), 4(b), and 4(c) of the legal code to mean that we must include the link to the legal code with every use of the image or other CC-BY material. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode
We recently re-did our WMF blog format based on this interpretation.
Don't we love legal stuff :-( The URI is http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ and not http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode . Looks like your legal people didn't read http://wiki.creativecommons.org/License_Properties
Could you please get this fixed at the foundation blog?

Hi Matthew, I'd take the freedom to disagree with you; as far as I know, the CC BY-SA licence (version 3.0, but also all the previous ones) does not require linking to its text (at <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/>), not to mention pasting the whole text. The only requirement is to attribute the author in the way specified by him/her, and in our case most of the time this means to mention the name of the author and the name of the licence. But taking into consideration Facebook's Terms of Use, it would obviously be safer to link to the licence, agreed. On the other side, I would really like to see a legal case against Facebook, because it really seems weird if they could get a "non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide" licence for all content that is uploaded to their servers, especially if they could overrule a free licence like CC BY-SA simply by having such a phrase in their Terms of Use. -- Tomasz W.
