The crucial issue is *which* CC license. Should it be commercial, or
non-commercial? non-derivus, or share-alike? Having cross the first
speed bump of acceptance of 'open' licensing, the next challenge is to
examine the arguments for and against 'free' licensing. For more info
about the distinction between the two, I collected some informative
links and put them on the cc.org.nz forum:
