I’m interested in copyright licenses, especially open source/creative commons. It’s definitely a rabbit hole to sink into. Right now I’m reading up on a case https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Drauglis_v._Kappa_Map_Group,_LLC. It basically said, a CC-BY-SA will not be applied to a “collective work”, where your art/asset are used in a “compilation” of some sort. Like a photograph in an album, the photograph can’t be considered “derivative work” as long as it’s not being modified.

One question arises, is there a CC-BY-SA with better coverage which also includes collective works?

    It’s better for OP to explain, but from what I read they don’t mind it being used in a collective work, but they want to make sure that collective work will also be CC-BY-SA. What from what they read it is no guarantee.

      So you mean like GPL to enforce same license when reused? I don’t think anyone using works licensed as CC-BY-SA is allowed to relicense it under a different license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
