Hoi,
As far as I am aware, the CC-by-sa comes in many flavours. One for each
country and all of them are different in their own way. Specific country
specific implementations may exactly allow for things people are not aware
off. Yes the INTENTION is for them to be the same.
As to why things go wrong? They do.
Thanks,
GerardM

CC does NOT say anything that people can understand
clearly. That is the
sole problem here.
1. They said "If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified
form), You must: retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
with the Licensed Material: a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to
the extent reasonably practicable." must != to the extent reasonably
practicable
2. "You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1)
<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode#s3a1> in any
reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You
Share the Licensed Material." What is the meaning of it? It means nothing
to anyone have some commonsense.
3. "As with most copyright questions, it will depend on applicable law."
Then why our admins punishing a user who try to follow the judgement by the
court of his country?

Hoi,
The CC does NOT say that the license of a low resolution image allows for
the use of a high resolution image. This is because it depends on the law
of the land. Some countries consider them to be the same where other do
not.

In many recent discussions in Wikimedia Commons,
I noticed that many of
