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.
