'''Share-alike''' is a term invented by [[Creative Commons]]. They describe it, in plain English, as "If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one." <ref>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/</ref>

The context of "alter, transform, or build upon" is that which creates a [[derivative work]], as opposed to that which creates a [[collective work]]. Creative commons has created its own, international, definitions, using the terms "adaptation" and "collection", but the distinction roughly mirrors the US concept of derivative work vs. collective work (see [http://www.ivanhoffman.com/derivative3.html Derivative vs. Collective Works by Ivan Hoffman, B.A., J.D.]).

The concept of '''share-alike''' embraces and extends the earlier concept of "[[copyleft]]". The term "copyleft" is defined by the FSF as "a general method for making a program (or other work) [[free]], and
requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well." (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/) "'''Share-alike'''" works, unlike "copylefted" works, don't have to be free. For example, the CC-BY-NC-SA is a share alike work which is not free. <ref>http://robmyers.org/weblog/2008/02/noncommercial-sharealike-is-not-copyleft.html</ref>
