Ok, no problem. I adopted the "No Derivative Works" clause only to avoid the creation of dozen similar projects (based on the same source project), a practice that I consider a disgrace in the OpenSource world. I'll change the license for my project. For my commodity, can I change only the portion referring to the "No Derivative Works" instead of using one of the OSI licences?

You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work." As far as I can tell from this page: <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/> None of the CC licences have been approved by the OSI. Based on the Mozdev AUP, I am now assuming that by registering their project on Mozdev, they have implicitly released their code under the MPL overriding the "No Derivative Works" clause in the CC licence.
