DRM should be forbidden on *unmodified* work under non-SA licenses.

This is because otherwise the freedom that the license grants to receive
and use them, and in the case of non-ND licenses the power that they
give you to remove the freedom of others, is effectively removed.

BY derivatives should not be bound by the anti-DRM clause. But on that
basis should CC-BY-NC derivatives have to be NC? ;-)
