No-one's said it yet, but to me, that's a con. Not everyone likes the
share-alike requirement, and that's fine. But there are people, like me,
who think "share-alike" is a pro. I don't really like some corporation
using data I created without having to give it back.

This sort of thing has been argued since the start of (internet) time,
with the "BSD is more free! No GPL is more free!".
