You can follow any terms of any license carefully and still get sued -- IMHO
common sense is in short supply in many copyright lawsuits. Just because
someone is willing to warp the meaning of a license into whatever terms they
think it means and file a lawsuit does not mean that that suit's claims have
merit, and moreover, it does not mean a judge or jury will interpret it as
such.
I still greatly await the day someone sells NonCommercially licensed work
and tries to justify their actions under a non-traditional reading of the
term "commercial."
