Licensing questions
hello,
1. look here: can i publish it as public domain (it was taken from a cc lisense foto while i did edit it myself)?

2. In the faq he write:
Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0This license requires you to release the source your entire project under the same license or one with similar terms, such as the GNU GPL. If you're trying to sell a game, this is probably something you want to avoid, as you will be required to distribute the source code, and your users will be allowed to distribute it as well.
However what i understand from the license conditions it means a work basing on the original work lets say a foto must be licensed alike, that would not mean i have to license my code which i created completely independent from it need to be licensed alike when i bundle them (and use the foto from the code).... I feel this is a strange interpretation of the cc sa

That was my understanding too. If someone could 'unofficially' clarify that would be great.
Anyway, according to this guy:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8893135/using-cc-by-sa-music-in-a-closed-source-game
"It's not the CC license which is vague, but how copyright law defines a derivative work (adaptation) which is vague."
"So it seems to me that it is OK to use CC-BY-SA music in a closed source game. But there is always a possibility that you will be sued and the court will have to decide whether your code derives from the music."
Hmm, but I don't know anything about law.
