It would be curious to know how many cc licenses works there are on
youtube, actually. If you search by tags, you can find many...anyone
have a number off-hand?

Yes, this would be slick! If you want it, let youtube know! We have done
some great work with YouTube in the past, and are always hopeful to get
CC licensing support into great sites like YouTube.

Numbers and desire really speaks loudly, as long as the voice and
numbers are constructive :)

Cheers!
