I hope facts will turn you right. :)

CC-BY-NC and ND may have some "appropriate" uses, but not for
reference works. I think in the future it might be good if Creative
Commons considered "individualizing" their several licenses, so that
they have clearly different names (I'm fond of color coding, like
"Creative Commons Red license") and maybe even have "recommendations"
about which types of licenses may be most appropriate for different
kinds of subject matter.

Thanks,
Pharos

I think you just answered the FAQ question on the problem. This needs
to go in the FAQ. In full.

Or not... we don't want people to run screaming from the FAQ! It does
make the point rather well, though - gmail wouldn't even show me the
whole message without requiring me to load it in a separate tab.

A brief update - Mike drafted an FAQ which we're going to release very
soon, and hopefully we'll be able to put together the full proposal
before the new year.

Hi Erik,

thanks for your update. Sorry for not waiting for the FAQ, but could you
shortly mention to whom this proposal will be directed? The Board or the
Community?

About FAQ: It would be useful if FAQ would consist some kind of
[licensing] recommendations for non-Wikimedia wiki projects.

How do you mean? Details of what kind of licenses other projects would
need to use in order for content to be shared between them and
Wikimedia projects? If so, I agree, that would be useful information.

In it.wiki there are many uncertainties on splitting
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Splitting). Will the CC-BY-SA
change the procedure (links, templates, reproduction of the history in
the talk, etc.)?
