A true "flaw to address more decisively" is the unwarranted assumption that a multitude of authors', researchers', funders', and publishers' complex choices of a CC BY-NC license (rather than a supposedly always superior CC-BY license) or any other license is any impediment whatsoever to Wikipedia's simple core content policies of verifiability, neutral point of view, and no original research. Granted, Wikidata unilaterally changed CC-BY to CC-00, but that unauthorized maneuver itself may at least partially explain the perceived shift to more nuanced content licensing. .
