Development of Creative Commons licenses

[nono2sco <nono2sco AT yahoo.com>]

It is a very slippery slope and the web of various
laws, licenses, interactions and interpetations of the
same are almost infinite.  Then if you have people
attaching their own requirements to existing licenses
it only complicates things more.

This may be old news, but I still find Lessig's
description of this mess very enlightening.
