Sure, same answer I get over at ccmixter which only uses BY and BY-NC. I am 
not wanting to start my own site at the moment and hope never to be moved to 
write my own license.

I am asking what I think is a simple question and not getting a straight 
answer. I am not impatient for that answer at this point yet, but I will 
point out that it has not yet been answered yet when people say that it has 
though.

all the best,

drew
