Does Creative Commons ShareAlike condition apply to Collective Works?
<p>If an image with a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic license (<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/" rel="nofollow">CC BY-SA 2.0</a>) is used in a <code>Collective Work</code> such as an article, online slideshow, or book.  Does the book, article, or slideshow need to be released under the same license as the image?</p>

<p>I believe a <code>Collective Work</code> is not considered a <code>Derivative Work</code> (and thus not subject to <code>Derivative Work</code> restrictions) but I'm not clear whether a <code>Collective Work</code> is subject to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share-alike" rel="nofollow"><code>Share Alike</code></a> restrictions.</p>

<p>Also, does the answer to this vary at all with the different versions of the CC BY-SA (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, etc)?</p>

<p>Don't overthink this:</p>

<blockquote>

</blockquote>

<p>Have you remixed, transformed or built upon the material? If you put a picture in your article to illustrate a point made in that article then no. If you drew a moustache on the portrait then yes.</p>
