Well, thanks to everyone for triggering an interesting internal debate
within SPARC as to what CC licenses they should be using.

It does seem logical that as a non-profit organization trying to spread
their message as widely as possible, they should use licenses with as
few restrictions as possible, and avoid using a Non-Commercial license.

I think I will recommend to them that they use a simple CC-BY license
(just requiring Attribution), to avoid the licensing compatibility
problems that a BY-SA license could cause.  I believe that the last time
SFC looked into this question we determined that CC-BY is the best
license currently available.  I must admit that I find it saddening that
BY-SA isn't the standard for artistic works the way that the GPL is a
standard for software, however.

What do y'all think?

Peace,
~Nelson~
