I have two doubts here. I understand the produced work can be put under a By-SA license but database rights may still apply. But: 1. IIRC the newer versions of CC-By-SA include statements to ensure that the content is not protected by database rights, patents or DRM, which would prevent their uses. Does that mean that only the older licenses can be used for produced works? Looking at GPLv3 and other licenses it is becoming more common for licenses to assure that the content is not restricted by those additional rights, and it makes sense because in some way those additional rights make the works not "free". 2. What happens if a person in country A with database rights publishes a tileset and licenses it under CC-By-SA to a person in country B without database rights? The second person is then as far as I can see not bound by database rights or a contract. Is that incorrect?
