And if you had the text of BY-SA 3.0 open in front of you, then you'd see
that it has a lot to say about these matters:
*"Work"* means the literary and/or artistic work offered under the terms of
this License including without limitation any production in the literary,
scientific and artistic domain, *whatever may be the mode or form of its
expression* including ... an illustration, *map*, plan, sketch or
three-dimensional work relative to *geography*, topography, architecture or
science; ..."
Hmm, perhaps we could use a license like this...
