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.
