tom, Audun,

not that I like the idea I am putting forward, but I think with this tweak I 
might address tom's issue.

RY=X,0 instead which would mean you can use commercially at X% or as NC. Your 
option.

Or even RY=X,SA which would mean you can use commercially at X% or as SA. Your 
option.

My issue is that I want to promote Free Works and to me, this just further 
muddies the waters.

Even with the second option, it woild only really be clean for first 
generation reuse or for reuse where all X's are equal. It could get hairy 
real fast.

I have even more thoughts that would complicate things further so I will leave 
them out unless this goes even further.

all the best,

drew
