Paying royalties is a way to get a license.  If you need to pay
royalties it's because you needed a license.  If your usage is within
the NC terms, you don't need to pay royalties.

It's the same for both SA and NC.  Usage under the license doesn't
require royalties, and usage outside the license does require some
other kind of license like the webcasting compulsory.

I don't mean to be splitting hairs.  I just don't want to let the idea
go unchallenged that SA makes royalties go away.
