 Generally, we try to ensure that videos submitted to WordPress.tv are free
 of advertising and promotion, so that was my thinking with the non-
 commercial aspect of the license.  However, I agree it is limiting when
 viewed in that light, and not in the correct spirit to align with the GPL.

 CC-BY-SA works for me.  Here is the updated code:

 sa/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0"
