So, as per your understanding, if I license BY-NC, you can make a derivative 
and and charge money for your derivative? What about making it all rights 
reserved? BY alone? If so, perhaps this is why you need the SA even with an 
NC, although this still leaves the 1meaning cloudiness Greg is concerned 
about.
