I read this and thought
"if we have people who have had lots of time to think about this proposed 
licence change come to differing opinions on rather basic questions of how we 
can use the data once its been put under this new licence
well who understands what it is good for?"

Anything this contrived and complex that the potential users can't sort it out 
fails the usability test.
