Re: Rough draft proposal for modifying http://schema.org/Offer to be more friendly for non-commercial usage

+1. 

I really like this proposal too. The proposed adjustment will be very useful for others as well. I noticed one minor thing that might improve the proposal a bit. As I don't see services like Netflix included in the examples, I'd add an example for just licensing the ability to stream music, a movie or TV show or even to read an eBook you have from the Kindle store (which might be removed from your device without asking...). An according addition might look something like:

"Proposed: An offer to transfer some rights to an item or to provide a service--for example, an offer to sell tickets to an event, to rent the DVD of a movie, to stream a TV show over the internet, to repair a motorcycle, or to loan a book. "

All the best
