well, when it comes to defending 'my rights' yes, I admit I am ready to fight
I think it is called 'litigious' or 'itchy'
I do get in that state only when I feel some lawful rights are being
denied tough


And not overly concerned with the views of the

of course I am concerned, otherwise I would not be asking the community 
opinion
but by denying me you are legal right to place a condition upon my
work that's need to be challenge

> Why would you do this?

do what? I am saying that it is legal to modify a contract, and it is
legal to add waivers and riders to any commercial and intelelctual
property contract

my reply is 'yes I can '  - are we understanding each other on this one?

cheers

no it will not

Not all modifications will cause incompatibility  (some will and some not)
I am saying that adding an ethical clause , or, making the cc license
conditional
based on an separate contract (pre agreement on ethics say) will not
cause an incompatibility with other licenses at all . it will however
cause an incompatibility with the proposed usage which is unethical -
which is exactly what I am trying to achieve with this

please correct me where you think I am wrong
