"And assuming we fix the problem with CC/FDL interoperability -- 
assuming, wink,
wink -- that would mean your creative work could be included within Wikipedia
(or other copyleft projects), even though the general license you offer 
is a NC
license."

That would seem to be an encouraging wink. ;-)

I was originally strongly opposed to BY-SA/FDL interoperability but the new
Simpler Free Documentation License answers my practical concerns with 
invariant
sections, so I now support interoperability between BY-SA and the SFDL 
(not the
FDL, which sadly still has invariant sections as of the first draft of the new
version).

NC and ND are more problematic to make interoperable.
