Yeah, and then there's Keberos, to which Microsoft could apply the usual
~ "embrace, extend, eliminate" because it was BSD-licensed. I would
never contribute to a non-copylefted project, and if Creative Commons
didn't have a single true copyleft license among its excessive number of
licenses, that would be really pathetic, to put it bluntly.

Of course, but it's important that Creative Commons provide it as ONE
licensing possibility out of its many non-free licenses. A license that
lets people make my work less free than I intended it is not useful to
me. I want to be able to benefit from things built off of my work when
I release it under a gift license. If Creative Commons doesn't offer
that at all, I'll have to start looking somewhere else.
