Please see my comment above about ND and opinion pieces -- what you're describing is either fraud or libel or both; the ND clause in the license isn't necessary to protect against fraud or libel. And the ND clause actively discourages collaborative work by your political allies. This seems like a net loss to me for anyone with serious political commitment to the subject of their work.
