Neat.  I guess that this search is not restricted to pages with a 
rel="license" qualifier, as I see sites that don't have it.

However, I guess you must be special casing CC license URLs as I don't 
offhand see the same two level results interface elsewhere apart from 
http://www.technorati.com/live/breakingnews.html .

If url and keyword queries could be combined (AFAICT they can't be) a 
Technorati watchlist could be an interesting way to perform an ongoing 
search for stuff to reuse.
