  I can't say I agree with all of this analysis which seems a bit
superficial at places (read the claim about the "Anti-DRM clause" as an
example), but it makes for a very interesting read.

Subject: Creative Commons 2.0 license suite

So, I just wrote up a draft summary of the Creative Commons 2.0 licenses for 
debian-legal.

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

The bottom line: 4 of the 6 licenses are clearly not intended to be 
compatible 
with the DFSG.

The two licenses that seem to be aimed at DFSG-freedom (Attribution and 
Attribution-ShareAlike) have some minor vagueness that are making it 
difficult 
for Debian to use them.

Anyways, I thought people on this list might be interested. Comments or 
criticisms welcome.
