Hopefully the Blender movie will be a good test case for this.

There are differences between requiring a transparant copy (an OGG file), an editable copy (a tracker file), and full source (preparatory work). CC currently only requires the first.

The example I use for how providing source could look is is a Disney DVD - look at all that preparatory art, the rough animation, deleted scenes, 3D models, scripts, storyboards. Add the score and you're there.

There will always be difficulties in identifying what has gone into making a cultural work, but the advantages (for learning about, understanding, remaking, extending and reworking a work) could be massive.
