Just as I am willing to forgoe the ability to take my video camera
into the movie theatre if I can, as soon as I step outside, download
the whole movie in a clear format.
I would not support a deal where he could use BY-SA content without
releasing the movie BY-SA. I would support a position where he could
screen that final movie in the theatre, even encumbered, as long as
the movie was additionally released BY-SA in a clear format.
I understand your position. I am happy for you to hold that view. We
differ on this point, but it is not through my lack of understanding
what you are saying.

As I said, I can only speak for myself. If my position is taken to be
selling out the community, then I am happy to seek another licence.
But I would like to at least have my position heard and recognised by
those claiming to represent the community, of which I would call
myself a part.
