CC-BY-ND-NC would also be incompatible with free Software, since it 
should be able to be refined (changed) and even used for commercial 
purposes.

I must also question the sense behind this "systems". The colors that i 
used in successful projects aren't even present inside this pallets. I 
really have to question their use cases. Some pallets make sense to me, 
others aren't usable at all. This one? I can't really imagine to use it 
for any purpose, since the natural colors i repeatedly use aren't present.
