The 3.0 licenses have been mentioned whenever the Integrity 
right/module comes up on cc-uk. I get the impression we won't have to 
wait fifteen years to hit 3.0 .

I do recommend that people start reading up on Integrity and thinking 
about how it might affect projects now. IP shills have nothing on Moral 
Rights shills. :-)

I finally put my finger on what is wrong with this argument. We do have 
just such a project: it's called "culture". ;-)
