Nevertheless, that burden is on whoever wants to present a work for
consideration.
You're not going to get a general ruling on general terms in the absence
of an actual work with actual terms – partly because we don't do rulings
here, and partly because the legal codes make it too difficult to talk
in generalities.
To improve signal-to-noise ratio, we far prefer discussion in this forum
to be on *actual* works with *actual* license terms.
