Heya, Mike and I have been working up this document as a best

point in time to best support Creative Commons licensing.

Looks pretty good to me, but of course web app authors should take a closer look too. We should get ccHost up to this point. (-;

Also, one sore point I've heard a lot lately is that many people who share their work under CC licenses don't make it clear how they should be attributed. For example:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/455919219/ ->
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ has the text,
"You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor"

Well, what's the name to use for this photographer? "Joi"? "joi@flickr"?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/455919219/ ->
http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/ ->
http://www.flickr.com/people/joi/ has the text, "About Joi / Joi Ito".

Which is the one formally specified for attributors to use?

-- Asheesh.
