Thanks Lorenzo for starting spanish/english book discussion (or crossposting :P)

On the Spanish list we've just started discussion but I think we are
moving between CC BY and CC BY-SA.

"No derivatives" kind of licenses are not discussed at this time and,
only speaking IMHO, we want to allow derivatives work and commercial
use too.

But of course, this is a very very important issue we should discuss
together to avoid future misunderstandings or problems.
