I've made a new version of the Creative Commons license summary
available here:

http://people.debian.org/~evan/ccsummary.html
http://people.debian.org/~evan/ccsummary.txt

This version has the following changes since version 3:

* Changed "definition" to "criteria" per Francesco Poli.
* Changed "1 million works" to "many works", and note that
estimates range from tens of thousands to tens of millions.
* Tried to modify the language for explaining why the anti-DRM
clause and the trademark restrictions make it hard to call works
available under this license Free.
* Gave a reference for a CC representative stating that the
trademark restrictions are not part of the license. This is one
mailing-list post from July 2004; I'd be interested in seeing
more.
* Modified the recommendation for the anti-DRM clause.

Comments welcome.
