Terry Pratchett behielt recht: es gibt ein Multiversum.

I recently spoke with an IT manager who was budgeting for an Office 2010 upgrade from Office 2003. I casually asked him what features he had deemed important enough to justify a $100,000 budget item. He thought for a minute and admitted that he couldn't think of a single one. So I asked the logical follow-up: Why are you buying it? He had no answer for that either. The $100,000 line item disappeared. He's also sticking with XP.

The key problems with -NC licenses are as follows:

* They make your work incompatible with a growing body of free content, even if you do want to allow derivative works or combinations.
* They may rule out other basic and beneficial uses which you want to allow.
* They support current, near-infinite copyright terms.
* They are unlikely to increase the potential profit from your work, and a share-alike license serves the goal to protect your work from exploitation equally well.
