The way the 2.0 licenses put it, you can combine two works under SA
licenses, accumulating all the license stipulations for both. So if
you've got one work that's by-sa, and another that's by-nc, the
resulting work is by-sa-nc.

Which section of the license on the web site says this?????? If this argument is based on 4b,it's a misreading and 4b needs to be made less ambiguous...

The problem with this is that it goes against the wishes of the
original licensors. Probably the most troubling is that you can take
a Work available for everyone to use, and mix it with an *-sa-nc-*
work, and the result is not available for everyone to use.

I agree. But which section of the license says this?

The argument made so far is that it's more important to make
"remixing" works easy than it is to respect the wishes of the original
licensors. I, for one, find that kind of hard to swallow, and probably
self-defeating.

Yes that would be an entirely bogus argument.

And the ShareAlike 2.0 is effectively saying that its OK to take
works out of the public commons and fence it off into a flea market
section.

Is it? Where? Is there a newer version than the one on the site?
