[Sarah Pearson <sarah AT creativecommons.org>]

To follow up on this thread, we have incorporated this clarifying change. The revised definition of Adapter's License is pasted below and will be reflected in the html versions of the draft soon.

Thanks to those of you who provided input on this issue!

best,

Adapter’s License means the license You apply to Your Copyright and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License.

This is an interesting point. Perhaps one way of fixing this hole is to add something to the definition of Adapter’s License that makes it clear something only qualifies if it is applied in accordance with the terms of the license? (e.g., “Adapter's License means the license You apply to Your Copyright and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License.”) 

I would like to highlight and support this specific proposal. Most likely such language will not be needed (and, of course, it is a bit redundant and tautological), but in case of troubles, or if someone is temped to propose strange interpretations, it will help to keep everything on track.
