So I guess you could probably use the CC-By-SA picture like you would
any other picture.

Yeah, I thought of that, but I'm not reviewing the CC-By-SA work, and I'm copying it entirely, so that doesn't quite work (the ARR works I'm quoting are just tiny pieces of a much larger work, and I am directly discussing their meaning). The CC-By-SA work is more of a conceptual illustration, so I'm using it directly, not under fair use. Or so I think, anyway.

I think after all, I need to separate them, and only combine the ARR/Fair Use screencaps with CC-By work. That turns out not to be so onerous (only one figure is badly affected by that choice).

It was a funny problem, because I had really considered it. My *article* will be CC-By-SA, so it didn't really occur to me that there'd be a problem using By-SA images (and there won't be as long as they are independent from ARR images).

Thanks!
Terry
