Dear John and all,

Good news.
I recommend to not accept a definition of NC which is not the one of
the licences.
Besides incompatibilities, if the scope slides towards public/private
distinction, it can lead to exclude legitimate usages by key
communities (with the Sacem pilot, public libraries, public radios,
became out of the scope of what they consider NC).
I wish you good luck to also get compatibility with non-NC licences.
It could also be nice and useful to submit possible
definitions/pilots/terms proposed to negotiation to the CCi list too
even if they are not Europeans.

Best,
Melanie
