IMHO, the license is just another proprietary license and by so
limiting potential relation in an networked information economy.
The restrictions mentioned in section 4[1] is excluding everyone
as NC (non-commercial)  terminology is just impossible
to be carefully defined.

I don't know what's the "added value" works are but I would
suggest to see how those works are in the perspective of
the Chapter 4, "The Economics of Social Production" from
the book of Yochai Benkler and see really if the "added value"
works really need a proprietary license or won't be more
beneficial for the foundation to release them as free works.

Just an idea,
