This sounds like you actually want to make Debian CDs with your photos
illegal. In that case, I disagree: It is not what I want from a free license.

The big issue for me is that I want two things:


1. Debian should be able to ship my creative works alongside unfree works.
2. A video-DVD which uses my music as background music should have to be free
(and have to at least offer to ship my sources, too¹).

Going further: I also don’t want it to be illegal to show my GPL-licensed
website in an online newsreader. Or in a public terminal using unfree software
(like an internet café).


Just doing one of these would be easy. Getting both right is hard. Getting
both perfect might be impossible. But we might be able to get the GPL to do
both well enough.

¹: That level of protection is not what everyone needs, because it is
inconvenient for artists to have to provide sources to everything they create.
That is where I see the need for cc by-sa. Breaking that is a no-go for me.

Best wishes,
Arne
