Ignore my words if you want but don't claim you are "met with silence".

No. Please re-read, and try to understand, my "Patents" example. You do 
not need to enter into a contract with anybody to be bound by a patent. 
Even if that patent is depicted in a CC-BY-SA picture. Do you understand 
that, or do I need to elaborate? If you do understand that, then does 
that or does that not prove that there may be restrictions to a content 
which live outside the scope of CC-BY-SA?

If you are henceforth met with silence, then that can only be attributed 
to your failure to understand what is being said to you.

Have you spent *any* time looking up the past "reverse engineering" 
discussion like I suggested? If no, then why are you wasting our time 
when you're not willing to spend one second to find the answers to your 
questions? If yes, then what points of that discussion did you not 
understand, exactly?

Bye
Frederik
