Licenses for software and other works

Where are the limits of influence of the CC BY-SA license?

There is some graphic image distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unport... license .

1. Let it be a 3D model distributed under this license. I use this model in my game. What in this case is "derivative work"? Only screenshots and videos, where does this model come across? Or the whole game?

2. Let it be a drawing distributed under this license. I use a screenshot of this drawing on my blog (like the image in the article). What in this case is "derivative work"? This screenshot? The entire article, including text? The whole blog?

And where can you find out such things exactly? Maybe somewhere there are articles with an analysis of such moments? All I could find was a translation of the license on Wikipedia. And from there, these nuances are not clear.

In these licenses (there are several versions and they are quite different), in fact, definitions and explanations are given on this subject, and in the very first paragraph - you can read it.
But in fact, these are licenses of the strongest, undiminished, copyleft possible . That is, it is as influential as copyright as such (of course, copyright cannot go beyond copyright).

Sorry, but what kind of insanity is this?
> I'm using [copyleft image] as the image in the article. What in this case is "derivative work"? This [drawing]? The entire article, including text? The whole blog?
The aforementioned Wikipedia (and Wikimedia in general), as far as I remember, has always proceeded from the fact that copyleft from an illustration to an article to the text of the article and other illustrations to this text, as well as to design elements , will not apply, that is, only to the illustration itself . And I have not heard that someone tried to dispute this.

From your legal advisor or freelance attorney.
