In certain circles it is an incentive to create. That is why things such as the creative commons licenses and open source licenses exist. For other people, that would be a disincentive to create because they want or need to see some sort of compensation for their work.
In both cases, it is far better to make the more restrictive case the default case since creators can always decide to give permission to open their work up to modification. It is far more difficult to do the opposite.
