I have been browsing copyright info and came across this:

http://www.asmpohiovalley.org/copyrightinfo.htm

Going down to:

DEFINITIONS FROM THE COPYRIGHT ACT OF 1976

we find:

A "collective work" is a work

A "compilation" is a work

A "derivative work" is a work

The Wiki License -- Attribution-ShareAlike 0.5 (beta):

http://creativecommons.org/drafts/wiki_0.5_legalcode

only defines:

"Collective Work" means a work

&

"Derivative Work" means a work

Is this on purpose, or is this an oversight? Is Collective work in this
license meant to encompass a collective work and a compilation as per the
other page? If not, is use in compilations not allowed under this licnese?

all the best,

drew
