An attribution-sharealike license allows the musicians to collect
royalties on all reproductions that aren't under the same license.
For example, if attribution-sharealike is used on a song which is in a
commerial, and the commercial itself isn't under that license, then
the commercial is an unauthorized use which is just as liable as it
would be material not under a permissive license.
