   Because I find it useful as the basis of my own work. As with works
   licensed under the GPL, I would find it a reasonable requirement
   that I note the copyright holder of the existing work, and note
   that I made modifications.

But you can base it on your own work.  It is called a reference.

   I have been arguing that one *should* be allowed to combine such
   works together and redistribute, just as with programs.

Noted.
