IMHO quite the opposite: every dedication to the Public Domain undermines the Open Content movement. PD work can be used without giving anything back. It will not grow the commons. I can easily see companies pushing PD and PD-alike licenses to allow them to take people's work: see the sudden liking that Microsoft/AdTI found for the BSD license when faced with the success of the GPL.

If CC is about giving back, then why is SA optional?
