We seem to have a problem with licences like the GFDL or the CC-by-sa, for which potential users seem to be uncertain what constitutes derivative work. Our [[Commons:Reusing content outside Wikimedia]] says
"You must make your version available under CC-BY-SA." and "Any derivative works must stay under the GFDL. When using a photo placed under the GFDL licence as part of a larger work, the larger work must also be released under GFDL for usage to be within the license terms."
This seems to be a problem for people who want to use an image in a book and cannot release the entirety of the book under the GFDL or the CC-by-sa.

Maybe we should set up a page ([[Commons:Permission and credits]]?) that
- Gives "blanket permission" for free licenses (like "By uploading
files under a free license, the author gives permission for everyone to use them under certain conditions:"; IANAL) 2. Gives an example of an image credit
[[Commons:Reusing content outside Wikimedia]] does 1. For 2., we might add example credits in each case.
