I find this an interesting thought.

So, I license a photo BY-SA and put a (C) drew Roberts, 2007 in the lower
right corner of the photo.

Now, the license allows derivatives. But the "keep intact all copyright
notices for the Work" language means that someone can't make a derivative
which only uses the upper left portion of the photo, or the center portion of
the photo.

And if everyone puts such notices on the photos themselves, collages from
such
photos will look really nice.
