So am I. Pragmatically, however, I have no doubt that insisting on a SA
clause will limit how widely this resource will be used, which in turn
limits its usefulness to anybody since it works against any network

A shared style guide should be a resource that any distro, desktop
project, or application project can take, add any material that's
specific to their project, and republish as their own style guide under
whatever license they usually use for their documentation.
