The reason I think allowing Dave to monopolize
CC-SA content is deadly is because I think contributers
to CC-SA projects, contributers like you, drew,
would get understandably pissed off that Dave
is making money on your content, but you can't
sell your own works or put them on Dave's hardware.

That sort of monopoly inside a CC-SA community
will royally tick off a lot of contributers
and might even drive them away from contributing,
might reduce what they contribute, and might
redirect a lot of there efforts to fighting
DRM-Dave because the par-dist license fails
to protect contributers from having their content
monpolized.

That's why I see par-dist as deadly to the FLOSS
community. there will be a large chunk of contributers
who will be understandably pissed at the monopoly
Dave enjoys. And that's where the minus-several-hundred
damage number comes from.

You are demonstrating exactly why par-dist by itself
will hurt the community, because a lot of contributers
like you won't like Dave monopolizing their FLOSS
contributions.

I was on vacation all last week.
I just got back, with 350 emails sitting in my inbox.
I must have missed it trying to catch up.
