You are using "pool" in a different sense than I was.  I meant that 
under an anti-DRM clause with parallel distribution codicil, one can 
always export any distributed CC-licensed work to an unlocked platform. 
 In that sense, every such work under the same license is in the same 
pool; they can be combined together in new derivative works on the 
unlocked platform.
