Well, since CC is getting more and more prominent in the Free Software 
community it is vital to have it compatible with Free Software. 
Otherwise it would do more harm than good in that area. So, to keep the 
rethoric:
CC *must* become free and must *not* keep barriers like forced 
attribution or a not very well verbalized DRM clause.

errata: insert "ought to" and "should not" where appropriate.
