I want to just point out that it's not just gratis/non-gratis that's at
stake here - the Nine Inch Nails license allows derivatives (and
republication of those derivatives) and downstream subderivatives.
You could very easily draw a spectrum of:
R.E.M.: Most liberal licensing (even if by a weird one for content)
Nine Inch Nails: by-nc-sa allows derivatives
Radiohead: Gratis (or your choice of price) music, but no license to
empower fans.
So the R.E.M. license is definitely the most interesting from a Free
Culture perspective, but calling the NiN release just gratis/non-gratis
ignores the difference beween this release and the Radiohead release.

I look forward to more discussion!
