I think you are right about "publicly accessible".

It is important to rule out lack of license.

What is a nonsharing license? I assume nonsharing licenses are nonfree, but not the other way around. I find this difficult to read to have both A4 and A4-1, and I think that just A4 itself is sufficient, as (given the above assumption) cases covered by A4-1 but not A4 (does not permit nonsharing licenses for nonpractical works) is out of scope of free software.
