The point is of course, is there a threat, or is the ambiguously enough
for other providers not to touch it because the same could happen to
their information. If there is none, 1 is good enough.

Because people perceive `freeness' in different levels. I still would
find it a lot better if there was actually a copyright distinction.
But without getting people between layers compete for `freeer' data.
Honestly I don't see why some of you are only focused on contracting
'SA'; therefore I wonder what would happen if the opposite method was
used; attribution only, like is legislated in the Bern convention.
