It seems more clear to me, now!

Thanks man!

My work here is done :-D

Ah, so let me see if I understand this correctly. NC forbids anyone from enriching themselves with derivatives, but I as the author could still use it for commercial purposes?

Ah, in that case NC may not necessarily be desirable for me in most cases. So indeed, my ideal license would be CC-BY-SA for the majority of the drawings I do. ^^

Thank you this is good to know. -v-

>> from enriching themselves with derivatives,

Not just derivatives but the copies of original unmodified as well, although be aware that if someone creates a derivative of your NC work, you can't use their work for commercial enrichment, their modifications can only be used for commercial reasons when all contributing parties agree to re-license.

For instance, Ritsuko Sato of ASCII and Hiroshi Seo of Aerialline can not use our translations or edited versions for print distribution without first asking Me, you, Fumihito Yoshida and Hajime Mizuno first. All four of us would need to agree, since all four of us have collaborated to get the end results (no matter which one was used).

See this is a problem, if they had released as CC-BY-SA then they could have used our work in print, no fuss, no mess. Perhaps it's better this way though, perhaps we'll get some money if they do an English print

dA can't let you select public domain, can it?
I usually pick 'Share alike', in the spirit of GPL. ^^

I'm never serious. Seriously.

No it can't, which I did complain about because 3 of my works are public domain (because they also went into the openclipart.org library and they must be PD for that resource)

So I made a note of it on each of them. I wouldn't mind but they don't even allow you to suggest commercial licenses available or any of those flexible things.

If it's not available, I usually just put it in author's comments, and leave dA's policy settings untouched.

It's just a fancy feature to me - when it comes down to it, all that matters is my decision, however I decide to inform people of it. ^^
Of course, I did use to release art as GPL, which is not always equally convenient.

Maybe, but now my head hurts a little. If I want money, I'll just stick with my coins. ^^'

Alright then it's settled,... the future lies in CC-BY-SA! ^.^
