[cc-community] Question about Share Alike

Thanks all for your advice about places to find CC-BY music to use in
videos.

Just to clarify, I was asking about that detail of Share Alike not as a
video maker, but as an explainer of CC licenses. As I mentioned on this list
last week, I'm working on a series of Creative Commons how-to's that are
meant to clarify what each of the license terms means for users. The reasons
I dislike Share Alike have less to do with the limitations they place on
users and more to do with how darn confusing they are. Creative Commons is
supposed to simplify things, and Share Alike is pretty complicated, which
makes it difficult to boil down for beginners.

But I did my best, and I just posted one on Share Alike:

As before, suggestions and corrections are welcome.

Molly
