BY is much more than that - more akin to the old BSD advertising clause.

Why do I say this? Watch / think:

This seems like a good place to do this...

Would someone make up a 15 minute to 1 hour "example" music radio show playing 
BY amd BY-SA music where the songs have gone through 5 to 10 generations. 
Assume 3 minute songs. (You can leave the actual songs out naturally and just 
record the Jock or whatever other way you choose to put in the BY and the 
licenseing info needed to comply with the license.) Also assume this is a 
broadcast only station with no internet presence.

So, once again, I will repeat my call for making BY optional and further for 
the option of a NOBY at least for SA works.
