Thank you for the explanation.  Yes, that makes sense.  After it's 
downloaded, the user already has it under a license.  It's done.

Thank you for the explanation.

Knowing her, I think she will.  She's not really out to become rich, she 
just wants to cover her webhost so she can keep writing.

She already has a lot of non-commercial content on her site.  And she's 
already going to put that under a CC license.  I guess that we're looking 
at using CC as much as possible because CC is such a good idea.

I'll explain to her what you just told me and I'll suggest the tip jar.

Thanks for the help.
