So, the BY-SA decided not to apply to collective works but the GPL decided to apply to collective works. ??? Is that right?


GPL doesn't apply to collections. See the following article by Lawrence Rosen: http://www.phptr.com/articles/article.asp?p=353550&seqNum=7&rl=1 (section 7 and 8 are the relevant ones).


The entire book, from which the article above is taken, is also available online: http://www.rosenlaw.com/oslbook.htm

If you wonder who the author is see: http://www.rosenlaw.com/rosen.htm
