Yes, well, getting domain independent language clearer and effective may indeed be difficult. By example, what some mean is using BY-SA animal photos in an ARR book about animals. Clearly, this use is more than mere aggregation of some unrelated photos and some unrelated texts on a CD.

I thought that the discussion recently on what kinds of uses would and wouldn't constitute "semantic relationship" was very helpful, and I'll put my two bits in for it to continue. There's some intuition there, one that a number of people on the list share, and bringing it into clearer focus would be worthwhile. Translating that phrase into something more precise would help; and so would getting consensus on a standard set of examples.

I know that I'm on record as being against a license modification for this, but some of my concerns would be addressed by a clearer definition, and having one would open up other doors, even if the SA licenses don't change.
