Yeah, I thought of that, but I'm not reviewing the CC-By-SA work, and
I'm copying it entirely, so that doesn't quite work (the ARR works I'm
quoting are just tiny pieces of a much larger work, and I am directly
discussing their meaning). The CC-By-SA work is more of a conceptual
illustration, so I'm using it directly, not under fair use. Or so I
think, anyway.
I think after all, I need to separate them, and only combine the
ARR/Fair Use screencaps with CC-By work. That turns out not to be so
onerous (only one figure is badly affected by that choice).
It was a funny problem, because I had really considered it. My
*article* will be CC-By-SA, so it didn't really occur to me that there'd
be a problem using By-SA images (and there won't be as long as they are
independent from ARR images).
Thanks!
Terry
