The CC-NC-SA-4.0 license isn't an Open Source Definition compliant license, since it discriminates against a field of use (commercial applications).

A reminder, open source means surrendering your monopoly over commercial exploitation:

My dad's solution was simple: "Mow the lawn!" directed at me.

My solution has been even simpler --- I just use a reel mower (on an admittedly small lawn, ~1/3rd of an acre) --- it's a decent workout, esp. when I strive to finish quickly.

(the one time I asked my son to cut the grass he broke the reel mower)

Please mod your mower to automatically pick up litter along road edges, and sell it to Caltrans at dot.ca.gov
