But the license says neither.  The license says "you are free to copy,
distribute and transmit the work so long as you attribute the authors
and don't do so for commercial purposes".

That's perhaps closer to 1 than to 2 if you are the original author,
but in terms of someone creating a derivative under CC-NC-SA, it's
closer to 2 than to 1.
