We are continuing our conversations about that particular aspect, and my personal hope is that we will figure out a way to clearly state through the license that adaptations such as a picture embedded into a newspaper article trigger the share-alike clause, i.e. the newspaper article would be CC-BY-SA licensed. (Or, as I would argue, in those particular cases, any other DFCW compliant license.)

The day such a redefinition is passed will not be the day that the world media suddenly shifts over to free content all-of-a-sudden in glorious revolution.
No, that will be the day when they stop using free-licensed photos at all.
Thanks, Pharos
