Sorry to nitpick but I'd vote against changing to CC-NC-SA, the
"Non-Commercial" limitation makes in non-free in the "Debian Free
Software Guidelines" sense. Unless I am mistaken it means that if you
build a commercial product based on OpenEmbedded it prevents you from
distributing the documentation along with a snapshot of OE (say you
want to provide an SDK to your users).
