	¡Hello!

	¿How Fare You?

	Awhile ago, I did took an impromptu poll and determined that most  
people hate CC-BY-NC-ND as being antithetical to the purpose as a  
creative commons (one cannot build on them).  We should remove CC-BY- 
NC-ND from future versions of the licenses and reduce the scope of CC- 
BY-ND to commercial works.

	We should create all licenses along these lines:

	0.	-	the freedom to run the work for any purpose (called "freedom  
0"), at least noncommercially
	1.	-	the freedom to study and modify the program ("freedom 1"), at  
least noncommercially
	2.	-	the freedom to copy the work so you can help your neighbor  
("freedom 2"), at least noncommercially
	3.	-	the freedom to improve the work, and release your improvements  
to the public, so that the whole community benefits ("freedom 3"), at  
least noncommercially

	In the meant time, I find that CC-BY-NC-ND is such an abomination,  
that I do not feel bound by it.  I shall follow the freedoms.  To me,  
CC-BY-NC-ND is CC-BY-NC.  CC-BY-ND does not apply to noncommercial  
works.  I shall write all of the missing chapter I want for CC-BY-NC- 
ND and CC-BY-ND and release them noncommercially.  I shall encourage  
others to do likewise.

	CC-BY-NC-ND and CC-BY-ND applied to noncommercial works is  
incompatible with the concept of a creative commons because one  
cannot build on them.

	¡Thanks!

	¡Pax!

	¡Health!

	¡Bye!
