That is the argument for not having "No Derivative Works".  But at the 
end of the day any programme we produce is more our ideas and thoughts
and therefore differs from source code which compile to a tool.

We are going to have some people before the camera.  We are going to be
presenting our way of doing things.  I would not want someone taking 
what we said and changing it to say something different, but still make
it sound as if I said it.

Changing a tool I built to do something different is not the same as
changing something I said.  That is why I lean more placing "No
Derivative Works" restriction than not.

But I am by no means sure of that position and am more than happy to
be convinced to change.
