Unlike the original idea, this seems like a good one -- it would be a
nice way to avoid the need for a black/white definition of what
constitutes a "free" album or a "free" artist.

For instance, as was the example in previous discussions, if an artist
released a ten-track album with all the songs CC-BY-SA except one, that
could earn a freedom score of 90%. If the last song was CC-BY-ND, maybe
the album would earn a freedom score of 92%, or 95% -- something to
indicate that the last track is more free than a fully proprietary
track, but less free than optimal.

Thoughts?
