If you were to /distribute/ a "beautifully-illustrated copy of the
inkscape source code", then you would have to follow the provisions of
the GPL, as regards distribution of source code, yes. I don't know what
exactly that would mean in reality, but it's so completely irrelevant to
this debate, I am going to resist the temptation to re-read the GPL and
work it out.

I'm going to try to re-frame this debate in a useful way. We keep
discussing CC-BY-SA, GPL, etc. What we should be discussing is what we
want from a license. When and only when that is agreed, we should see if
there is a license (or dual license combination) out there that is close
enough. If not, we should write our own.
