If I can respond more directly to this, I think the data provider 
should be aware that a redistribution restriction would likely inhibit 
certain kinds of data uses that would potentially increase the 
visibility and utility of their data. For example, an open CC license 
is required by Google Earth Engine, which allows people to obtain 
relevant subsets of spatial data as well as transform and develop 
value added products. I do not think they would host data in their 
system that could not be redistributed in its original form.

I would suggest that the provider consider using CC-BY with a 
statement in the metadata about their preference that users interested 
in using an original copy of the data obtain a copy from the 
provider's site.

BTW, another concern about including a redistribution restriction 
pertains to long-term stewardship. What if the data provider stops 
providing the original dataset...does that mean the dataset can no 
longer be made accessible by anyone?

Cheers, Bob
