um, a collective work is the same as a collection under CC licenses. a collective work is the US description for what is described as a Collection in the Unported licenses (which are based on international treaties).

No.
"Collective works" and "collections" are not the same thing.
A collective work is a single cohesive work that has been worked on by
several people. A collection of works is, well... a collection.

As Rob I think the GPL's "mere aggregation" is equivalent to the
CC-by-sa's "collections".
