I'm coming in here after a lot of excahnges, so I'll just comment
on a couple of points.

That's how I felt years ago, but I found it really didn't work. There
are ways of getting around it, e.g. sell "empty" software and advice
the users to download the data. Also it limited the use (and
usefulness) of the data. That's why I moved to CC-SA (no "NC").

Yes, we do. The original radkfile/kradfile is CC-SA, but I can accept
an alternative more restricted arrangement for the extended version.
I think CC-SA is fine, but if Jim wants it tighter, that's fine with
me.
