Thanks for the reply, that’s good to know, I think I may keep it simple and go with a site wide license to start as my main reason is that I want the users of my site to know and feel that if their content is republished at all, they would get acknowledgment. Appreciate your comment and example, thanks again!

James,
I belief that your application and use of the cc licenses for the
generated content would be perfect. You can either let the user select
the cc license or you can select a cc license yourself and let users of
your application adhere to that license.
Personally I would go for the first option, but if you do want to limit
the users to one license please consider using a liberal and Commons
promoting license such as CC-BY or CC-BY-SA. An example of a service
utilizing the CC-BY license (see the bottom of the site) is Identi.ca[1]
(a microblogging service such as Twitter, but available as free, open
source software).

All the best,
grtz
