Not tryign to be a PITA, trying not to name the license with something that is threatening or confusing or hard-to-remember.

I think those are reasonable criteria for the name.

With all respect to David meme, things we might want to avoid might include 'music' 'sound' and 'sampling' since they are heavily laden with pre-existing but incompatible meanings in some of the communities that the license would touch.

How about something more neutral, and, since the license is intended for works in any medium (or mixture of media, for that matter), something not tied to recorded music per se... perhaps more along the lines of:

Creative Re-Use License
Creative Derivative Licence
Collage License

(though 'collage' makes potential incorrect assumption about the re-user's choice of technique)

'Creative Derivative' rhymes (in a primitive way), would I think speak to lawyers (emphasizing the distinction to non-creative derivative re-uses) as well as to laypeople ('creative' being seen as positive), and it has a nice rhythm when spoken aloud.

P.S. to Cory: We really should get together and talk about Disneyland some time.
