You didn't see examples of my concerns because there weren't any
:) -you misread something, I have no problem with Share-alike, it
would actually be my preferred option if I was alone in this. I
like SA for the quickstarts; I do not mind much if the overview
docs were not SA, as there is limited creative work in those.
but that is not to say that I have any trouble with SA, I don't.
my other comment was re. calling it "viral" is actually rather
insulting if one stops to think about the implied connotations
and conflations, and "share alike" works better to explain the
implications of it anyway.


cheers,
