this is not the way CC licenses work and contravenes the language of
the license and its intent. this has already been explained on this
list. eg., just because larry releases a PDF version of his book
under a CC license, does not give you the right to walk into any
bookstore and demand a free copy of the hardcopy or exercise rights
possible in respect of the PDF with regard to the hardcopy.
