What is really bad is that modified free works default to be 
non-free. This is the fault of the way copyright law works. 
Copyleft licenses such as cc-sa try to change this, at the 
expense of increased bueraucracy.

I would like to free my works, but make sure at the same time 
that the freedom is preserved. However, if it turns out that the 
protection of freedom in one place requires a cut of freedom in 
another place, I would rather accept certain loopholes in the 
protection. 

The CC licenses do not work for me (yet?), just like the other 
{{free content} licenses} around. 

cu,
