Perhaps, but the example could be different. It could be that I license my
work BY-SA for no cost, but if you want to make a non-SA derivative, you can
pay me and I will provide a custome license that allows you to make an "all
rights reserved" derivative.
The non-exclusive part does not force the conclusion being discussed as far as
I can see.
I could also license a work BY-SA and NC. You could choose which you wanted to
start with.
Everyone, please point out any errors in this thinking that you see.
