Here is another idea. Instead of fiddling with the license, or adding 
"interpretations", I can choose to give people additional rights.

So I could say:  "You can use this material under the terms of the 
BY-NC-SA and IN ADDITION you are also allowed to make money in the 
following ways..."

This wording would make it clear that this is a separate contract that 
gives you extra rights. It's not unlike you negotiating additional terms 
with me. I think this is clearer, and avoids fiddling with the license.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Daniel.
