Didn't know that. Probably it's the same in my country.
In fact, I don't exactly want to prevent common people from printing CC
licensed work for personal use or friendly share (let's call it "home
printing"), but established organizations, no matter their nature or
purpose, from printing and/or including my work in a "serious" edition with
cover and all the stuff, be it gratis or not. Why? Maybe I'm not OK with the
use they'll give it. If I just go with current CC licenses, let's say NC,
they'll be free to use as please as long as they distribute for gratis, and
later when I notice I'll be hands-tied. Therefore I want those to ask
permission prior to publication. Is that possible? What do you think?

About CC+, I guess it's intended for providing more permissions, isn't it?
But what I want is to the right of the spectrum. How could it help me?
