Considering that CC _does_ have a public domain "dedication", which is
different from Attribution-style licenses, it's probably worthwhile,
at least on this list, not to use the term "public domain license" for
those attribution-only style licenses.

Yes, like "Free" software it's a correct but confusing term (in English), although without the historical precedent that Free software has.

I use "weak" for BSD and "strong" for GPL -style licenses. This may or may not be useful generally. :-)
