Actually attribution is by far the most popular, so much so (98+%) that
the question was removed.


If BY-SA is the license that has the most powerful combination of
allowing reuse while mandating continued freedom, won't it eventually
become the most popular license regardless of what other options are
offered, just as GPL became most popular in the face of less restrictive
and various non-free (shareware, etc) competition?


The best thing those of you who don't like NC (or ND) can do to further
your cause is to promote use and reuse of PD, BY, and BY-SA content.
Drew Roberts has the right idea:

Though I think a podcast would be far more effective than a stream.
