I think we should ask for BY-SA *without* ND so that we can more easily
reuse the content in other Fedora contexts (documentation, marketing
materials) -- and so other people can use it in non-Fedora contexts with
proper credit. I think that fits best with our mission (and the open content
aspect of it).

I understand the rationale behind wanting NC, but it's actually on our list
of unacceptable licenses in Fedora. See
