Please feel free to respond in french - I can read just fine, and am  
enjoying the conversation on this list very much, but my writing  
isn't that great, unfortunately...

What is a creator to do to indicate that attribution is not  
necessary?  Usually, I do want attribution, but sometimes this is not  
necessary.  For example, in our work at BC Electronic Library  
Network, we do want attribution if you use one of the articles from  
our quarterly newsletter, ELN Connect.  However, we also prepare  
generic press releases, and we want our libraries to feel very  
comfortable changing the wording and using as their own, for  
promotional purposes.  This isn't quite the same as public domain, as  
this is for certain audiences only, and we still don't want  
commercial use.

cheers,
