Indeed. I have a serious dislike for NDand for NC myself. I go for the BY-SA 
and would sometimes go for a plain SA if it were available in the up to date 
licenses.

I think CC might have missed the boat on dropping that one despite the 
numbers. SA might have been a turtle while the other licenses were rabbits.

Is the BY module compatible with "all rights reserved?"
