good question. we do not really know and we have asked that to different
representatives on different occasions but have yet to receive a clear cut
answer. at the moment they simply seem to ignore this sitiuation and treat
the existence of CC licensesd works as noise within the system, which
given the overall volume of their business may be not as outrageous as it
sounds on this list (and of course they do not admit to this). but we are
still waiting for some kind of 'official' answer here...

best, paul
