I would like to add some further considerations.

First of all, I agree that CC-by-nd is utterly against the spirit and
the letter of the DFSG. Specifically, works solely licensed under the
terms of CC-by-nd (any version) clearly fail to comply with DFSG#3.

Secondly, it's true that FTP-masters currently accept works licensed
under CC-by-sa-v3.0 and under CC-by-v3.0 into Debian main.

I personally disagree with them, as I am convinced that those two
licenses are *not* OK, but that's another story ([1], and, for more
details, [2][3])

I hope this helps.
Bye.
