Parallel distribution allows proprietary monopolization
of CC-SA works on a DRM platform.

The anti-TPM clause keeps the work Free by prohibiting
monopolization, but while allowing users to apply DRM
locally to a work if they wish to do so.

If license compatibility is your only concern, then I
suggest that Debian and CC use the -best- license,
not just 'any license that is compatible'.

Debian can maintain license compatibility by reexamining
its refusal to look at the weaknesses of parallel distribution
and the monopolizations it allows.
