ND

   See also [1]NC.

   In the context of [2]licenses the acronym ND stands for no derivatives and
   means "no derivative works allowed" -- this is an unpopular limitation
   that makes such a license by definition [3]proprietary (i.e. NOT a [4]free
   cultural license). A work licensed under a license with ND clause -- most
   notably the [5]CC BY-NC-ND license -- prohibits anyone from making
   derivative (i.e. modified) works from the original work, on grounds of
   [6]copyright, which goes against one of the very fundamental ideas of
   [7]free culture (and just any sane culture), that of free [8]remixing,
   improvement, combining and reuse of [9]art; it kills artistic freedom,
   [10]culture, opens the door to legal bullying and strengthens the
   [11]harmful [12]capitalist idea of "[13]intellectual property". All in all
   ND licenses are [14]cancer, NEVER USE THEM.

   The ND clause is similarly harmful to the [15]NC (non-commercial-only)
   clause -- see the NC article for more detail.
