*nods* I think the real crux is that fanfic authors do all sorts of remix and re-write but in a specifically non-commercial venue. (And do not copy any text wholesale.) A commercial author taking one of those non-profit items, whether detailed plot/outline or actual novel, and remixing or re-writing it for their own profit... that's where I find my line in the sand.
I'm perfectly happy with share-alike, it's only just; being inspired by a neat idea can run both ways. But exploitation is a whole different ball of wax.
