tl;dr if you're living in Japan between now and 2028, you're free to make and sell commercially whatever SFW Lain OC you want. They may or may not be remaking that weird PS1 game too.
Shame they didn't have the balls for a full-on open source license or even donating it to the public domain.

That's a little extreme. Pretty sure they don't want to get cucked out of some revenue by a Netflix/Hollywood adaptation.
I do like the concept of CC-BY-SA or other copyleft licenses, and I think free right of distribution would be a major deterrent for video productions, but I don't think many are prepared for the full ramifications of share-alike.

I would say because CC has the legal establishment appropriate for creative works that the software-oriented licensing schemes don't have.
Lain was released in 1998-- after the Internet's Open Source communities established themselves, and the show had little influence on the Net, either in the East or West. It just smells of trying to desperately market the IP into a new avenue.

Japan doesn't give a shit about Open Source and similar Folk cultures-- look at how fast the OS-tans were forgotten when Miku Hatsune was created. SOMETHING YOU CAN BUY >>> SOMETHING YOU MADE over there.

Do you want to elaborate on what exactly you want?
I can imagine the terms of use or "license" the company chose is so Hollywood and Netflix doesn't make an adaptation and generate revenue off of Lain without compensating the original creation.
It's not software. The animator frames and cels are unlikely to be re-used for newer productions for reasons like resolution and aspect ratio differences. And the hypothetical case they want to deter, other production companies are well capable of drawing new scenes, or more or less the same scenarios from different camera angles, et al.

Why would they be able to use different angles or scenes if the copyright is in effect for the next 80 so years? Seems much more like building an influence on the web for a reboot in ten years or so.

Hypothetically, if they did go open source and made the frames, project files, and voice recordings available to the public.

Not the same anon, but for me a CC-BY-NC license would have been fine.
The problem is all the other stipulations which restrict exactly what kind of content can be created.
It doesn't feel like they're allowing people to freely create fan works. It feels like they're allowing fans to work for free creating corporate-friendly content.
Also, it isn't open source by any stretch of definitions. None of the source files have been released.

Japanese copyright only lasts 50 years.

I think there's a mention that says "no need for supervision if work is free and non-commercial".
Overall, I think its written more towards dojin. The nonpornographic dojinshi, etc has the greenlight for selling their work, while other stuff has to lay low as it normally does.
