--- Comment #13 from Christoph Schäfer <christoph-schaefer at gmx.de> ---
What's the problem with this licence? We (freeColour) discussed the licensing
options with an IP lawyer and came to the conclusion that, to guarantee the
same outcome on all platforms and the reliability of the physical colour
reference in connection with any programme, the ND option is the best.

I've had this discussion in other contexts already, and the major concern was
that using any of the colours in a document creates  a derivative. This is
*not* true. Using a colour is what is says: use, which is not limited by the
licence.

The ND option only serves to guarantee the correctness of the colour values and
the related colour codes. You can compare it to an open standard. The ODF spec
would be useless if anyone could modify the text and distribute the modified
version as an original. It's the same with colours.
