I am a very strong proponent of copyleft but I think identica's use of
BY is a perfect fit for:
a) Data portability in a federated network of microblogging sites.
b) Quoting and replying to other people's comments.
So I'd go so far as recommending that standard copyright be dropped
rather than more licences be added, but I can see the pragmatic reasons
for keeping it.
identi.ca is absolutely brilliant.

PS -Danny o'brien mentioned identica as an example in his talk about
freeing the cloud at OpenTech in London last Saturday.
