Wait, so we're moving a few 100 files, creating a new project, and adding onto the burden of our already overworked technical team so we can remove two sentences from project policy? The "staying true to our colors" reasoning sounds obsessive-compulsive.

I'll ask again because I may very well be missing something here: why exactly should we start the "allrightsreserved" project?

"Share alike" means "thou shalt not create a hybrid monster". But
people fail to see this, because at present allrightsreserved and free
contents are too close to each other on the same Commons website.
