Thank you from my side, too!

The possibility to use CC by-sa licensed works together with GPL
licensed works to form a derivative work of both would make my life a
lot easier.

It would allow me to use works from Ryzoom together with works from
Battle for Wesnoth in the free RPG books I work on.

And it would make it easier to work on the writings, the artwork and
the code for a game which uses the rules of the RPG for a tactical
computer-RPG without having to worry about falling into licensing
traps.

Finally I could license my own drawings and poems under CC by-sa,
which would make it much easier for others to reuse them, while
preserving my ability combine all derivatives of my works with my
other works - regardless of the kind of work (song, image, text or
program - the latter two often require the GPL to preserve the
possibility to reuse the improvements made to derivative in practice).

Now know where I stand - I hope I can contribute to making the
compatibility of CC attribution-sharealike and GPLv3 or later work
out!

Best wishes,
Arne
