<cough/> Guilty as charged.

Thanks for the clarification/pointer; that's really helpful. At the risk
of being pedantic, one question... What if I layer other elements on top
of the image, as in slide 18 and later at [1]? Does this now constitute
a derivative work? Presumably if so then I simply need to license the
derivative work as CC-BY-SA, but not the Collection as a whole??

BTW, I note my own ommission of the licensing statement for the cloud in
that slide set. I'll fix that.

Cheers,

Tom.
