CC-SA or CC-BY-SA both meet those requirements. If you're worried about interoperability, creating another licence isn't the way to approach the problem. Paraphrasing Tannenbaum: The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them, and if you don't like any of the existing ones you can always create one of your own. > [more snip] > Creative commons is not a solution. > Creative Commons has "NC" terms which is useless.

If you're not clear about what SA (Share-Alike) is I suggest you get someone who understands licensing to explain it to you. All the scenarios you have mentioned are more than adequately covered by existing licences. And I don't really think that inability to understand licences is an incentive to create your own -- quite the reverse, actually. > [yet more snip] > Exactly, This is the problem.

Ah, I think I get it now. You seem to be under the impression that the walls between different creations are a result of multiple licences. Not true. Instead, they are a consequence of different people wanting their content to be used in different ways. Some people want their content to carry viral terms (CC-SA & co); some don't care what you do with their content (public domain); some don't care as long as you don't use it in a commercial product (CC-NC & co). If your licence can make all these people think in the same way, more power to it! However, in my own opinion that is extremely unlikely (I'd say impossible but I'm an avatar of Napoleon Bonaparte) -- different people have different ideas, priorities and objectives, and they will need different licences to be able to express those ideas, priorities and objectives. To be short and consequently brutal: your licence only adds more confusion to the already confusing licensing scenario. My strong recommendation (which I believe anyone with an iota of licence experience behind them would concur with) is to withdraw it.
