Thank you for this information.

I'm an ACLU (Washington) intern right now and my current project
concerns SecureDrop. I asked for an opinion about GPL3 and CC mixing.
It sounds like they are not compatible if the goal is to mix content
(some from TorProject.org, some from tails.boum.org, etc) to produce
ideal education. Sadly, I will need to re-word your work to stay
within legal boundaries. Because of the content we are remixing from
other CC sources, the content we are developing will be CC-BY-SA (and
cannot also be GPL3).
