Please explain these to us. I think having people use my BY-SA photos in ARR
works is not to my benefit. I need to see that the problems you refer to
outweigh the benefits.

First off, while I am a big fan of Free Software and Debian, they are about
software. We are talking about more than software here. If software has
certain attributes that allow the GPL to be effective in the software domain
while photographs do not benefit in the same way from BY-SA, it is not
unreasonable to look for solutions to the percieved problems.
