That would be better...but...I think the Schema.Org Sponsors do need to revisit the licensing conditions. All CC licenses include a "No additional restrictions" clause that says "You may not apply legal terms that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits" [1] Yet the Schema.Org terms [2] include "The license may be conditioned on reciprocity, defensive termination, defensive suspension, and/or other reasonable terms" Cheers...
