Kia ora koutou

My partner drew my attention today to this documentary about
Transmission Gully :
http://www.throughtheheart.co.nz/

Which doesn't use a NonCommercial clause (perhaps because they don't
think it likely anyone will do better than cover costs selling
copies), but does use a NoDerivatives clause. Perhaps they are
concerned about people re-editing the doco to misrepresent them?

I'm not convinced allowing derivatives really creates that issue.
Assuming people respect the license in the first place, any derivative
must acknowledge and link back to the original. This should make it
clear that it is a derivative, and does not represent the original
author. Free code software licenses deal with this by specifying that
a person cannot claim credit for work derived from another project
(Attribution), and cannot represent the derivative as the work of the
original author. I guess the question is, do CC licences which allow
derivatives include language to this effect?
