I have photos of famous places sitting on my hard drive. I think they

Hence, I've been considering PD, CC-by and CC-by-sa. I am trying to
understand what ShareAlike means when applied to photos.

Crop, combine, collage, phototint, add animated characters, use
as backdrop or rear projection in film, just about anything you can
do with it in Gimp or Inkscape, etc, etc.

All of those imply a derivative or combined work.

The "sync audio to video" requirement is a bit bizarre actually,
since sampling specific says it is not sufficiently transformative
to be allowed (i.e. the opposite stance).

Clearly they see that as a grey area. I think it also has to do
with the pragmatic point that people pay a lot for those kind
of rights, and they want to provide means of capturing those
cases.

Cheers,
Terry
