To be honest, I don't know if it's reasonable if you consider that the
licensing of an artwork has become a conscious creative and political
choice.
Choosing a license is, for some artists, not just a legal and technical
framework, it's a way to embed a political statement and context for their
work. And in that regards every license is different.
