"The Sandbox is the Lab's way of sharing high-quality video clips with you – for free. Use our clips to make a mash-up, documentary, music video, or whatever!" -- or... ART!
They just made a bunch of US Election-related material available. Pretty awesome!

My opinion re: NC is that any artistic endeavor is OK -- even if you're selling it in a gallery or elsewhere.
I say this because the vast majority of the time (99% maybe), profit isn't the primary purpose for creating an art work. It's my position that NC should only pertain to enterprises where profit is the primary motive. It's debatable (obviously) but to me it's a simple way to measure it.
M.River has made it clear to me that I should be clear that I'm not attempting to interpret the actual NC CC license. I'm just giving my opinion of what I think the NC clause *should be*
If the NC license is more strict than my definition, then I believe it's wrong and should be amended.

Anyways, regardless of how one thinks about it, I am happy to see people like WGBH trying to get content into artist and activist hands (thanks Brian). Now, if you can copy left some old Bob Vila era This Old House, I might have art project for you.
