No.

All the protocol licenses I've seen have been pretty evenly split  
between cc no-derivs and cc by ( for example: xfn is no derivs, foaf  
is by ).  All the code ive seen has been similarly split in 'spirit'

No derivs also just means you're making a specification that anyone  
can utilize , but only you can change.

Eventually, It'll be released more liberally -- but in terms of being  
1 person running their own company and recently having had some IP  
infringement issues , the ND makes sense for me to handle management  
issues for now.
I don't want to deal with or have time for forking, or 20 people in  
succession saying "let me just try this".

Since findmeon is based on / inspired by the  xfn / foaf / dsig  
specs , people could very well come up with a complete alternative.   
they just can't fork it without permission.
