I agree with that article, sometimes less choice is better, and those horrible ND (and preferrable also NC) licenses need to die! Lukily OGA does allow only a limited set of CC licenses.

The article forgot about the CC0 option, which is really useful to have in countries where you legally can't put your work in the "public domain".

My opinion of ND licenses is that, while they have a place, that place definitely isn't on OGA.  :)

NC licenses are well-intentioned, but they're a legal minefield because the definition of "commercial" is so sketchy.   In any case, they're completely incompatible with Free Software, which specifically allows commercial use.

Interesting. I was skeptical about this at first, but I think the author has a point. ND is definitely useless (I never doubted that), and NC-SA isn't very helpful either.

So that would bring the choices to CC0, CC-BY, CC-SA and CC-NC. Simple, and each roughly equivalent to Public Domain, permissive software licenses, copy-left and many academical licenses respectively.

Bah I just wished they made a limited SA that keeps the derivate as there own medium
