On the other hand, even if you remove the NonCommercial provision it is still not equivalent to Open Source or Free Software, as the actual source is not being distributed, merely the end result.
Sure, it's easier to mashup video than compiled executables or libraries, but even CC is not quite equivalent to a software license.
WE HAVE ALSO DECIDED AFTER THE FILM IS COMPLETED TO RELEASE THE RAW INTERVIEW FOOTAGE AND POST IT TO THE INTERNET ARCHIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO THROUGH A SIMILAR CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSE.
Excellent point. A truly open source movie (like the Blender Foundation flims) would release all the unedited source materials for other people to use themselves. Creative Commons is just the first (minimum) step towards an open project.
