The current license choosers force a choice between NoDerivs and Sharealike.
These are not opposites, and there are occasions when it makes sense to
include both elements. For example, if an article is published it might be
reused as a whole work in a larger work (e.g. a chapter in a book), in which
case the author might want both ND and SA.

Could this be addressed in the Version 4.0 license round? I'm not sure if
this is a legal matter or a question of how the license chooser is set up.

best,
