Re:Misuse of Creative Commons-licensed photo leads to public... by paxcoder on Saturday July 16, 2016 @12:06PM (#12106769)
Copyleft means that the derivative work should have been published under a compatible license (providing at least the same freedoms - in practice often the same license). The act of publishing does not automatically place the derivative work under the same or a compatible license; it means that the derivative work violates copyright and that the its author is liable for damages (unless fair use applies).
