I'm having some technical problems adding the link in the descriptions - in case you're wondering why it hasn't happened yet. Somehow Facebook doesn't allow that change in all images. I'm struggling a bit still what the reason for that is - maybe it doesn't like too many url's or too much text in a description.

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.

Attributing the author is *not* the only requirement, we are talking about CC-BY-SA, not about CC-BY. You have to also keep the license and *write* that too.

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.
