NC is inherently Non-Free (as is ND for that matter), so NC sure is NOT the way to get more people to use Free licenses.

I'll re-read my post and probably send out another one in response, but it should be clear that I'm looking to make sure it is good for the "CC licenses movement" even where there might be unintended consequences for the licensor. I definitely don't lay the unintended consequences on Creative Commons doorstep; that's more an effect of the complexity of reality when there is a restriction on how something can be used. It's why free software and free culture work as they do, anyone involved doesn't have to stop or restrict creativity because of real or potential violations. I pity the DJs and produces over the years getting sample after sample approved. Anyway, I think a blog post response is in order, and that's what I'll do after the day's chores. :) - Karsten Jon, I think you got the gist of what I was looking for.
