As a consequence if someone was willing to give us some money for ScenicOrNot data, we'd happily use it, and then spend it on other things like TheyWorkForYou. best, Tom Hi Paul,

Still, I think losing the NC element gives the data more chance of being used, cited, and further improved.

If what you're saying is true, wouldn't any review of any CC-BY-SA work have to be released under the same licence?

However, is the nc licence appropriate? Or even required? Technically, this is derived from work with a by-sa licence, so shouldn't it have the same licence? This is great stuff.
