Secondly, the NC clause is important in a country like ours where
cheap run of the mill institutes mushroom everyday. How do you plan to

scenario, he is building his business on content created out of public
money.I think the current license has clause to prevent this.
This is precisely I want to happen. Your arguments are not True.
because My first question in the list that , -- "Give an example that
somebody have earned huge profit by selling CC-By-SA or non-NC contents",
Your argument is valid that --- "/How do you plan to protect
exploitation in case someone downloads the the content from net, burns
a DVD and starts selling it at price of his choice/"
There is no need to protect. because EVERYBODY is allowed to do so. If
Vivek burn and start selling videos than Narendra and many other will
also start doing so and eventually price will become lower and best
quality will win.
This is good in theory, but not in reality. How is it that Microsoft
gets a huge premium for its Office suite when comparable office suite is
available free (to share and free of cost). While the case is black and
white in case of office, where we have a proprietary software as the
leader, what about Android - where another large company is able to
dominate the android development system. So is android 'free'? even if
the code is available for all purposes, what about the role of google in
shaping its course?
Big corporations can use variety of methods to dominate the market and
drown out the efforts of others. Such large monopolies/oligopolies is
far more common in the IT sector than in any other. And their domination
distorts the market so much that it is meaningless to believe that since
anyone/everyone can enter the market, monopolies cant happen.
There is a need to prevent such practices and hence the NC clause has
meaning/value. It may be difficult to implement, but then that is true
of most policies/rules. while software can operate on binaries, policies
need to be able to cater to different kinds of contexts and needs.
While Ii agree that adding the NC clause makes it 'less free' than not
having it, I think it is simplistic to argue that a NC clause completely
makes it non-free and NC is always not desirable
