I'd echo Jonathan's call for removing NC. Completely open Bibliography
(CC-BY, PDDL, etc.) will be a major factor in advancing academic
infrastructure. It means that we can compute our own activity. Every
academic activity that creates or uses a piece of identified information is
potentially computable - and processable in huge amounts.

Bibliography is also something that is imemdiately understood by everyone in
the information infrastructure. So it sends a clear message about the
benefits of being Open. They more messages like this, the more it spreads
through the community and encourgaes others to do the same.
