Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Sigmascape1 AT cs.com]

Hi,

My issue is primarily that I don't want to restrict someone from making 
commercial use of the material. I have been looking at the Sampling 1.0 
License as alternative. This license seems to provide quite a bit of 
protection from rampant commercial re-distribution. Of course, this license 
is also the least attractive in terms of using it for P2P uploads.

Another question. Are there plans in the works to create new, more varied CC 
licenses? By varied, I mean ways to dictate content usage. In reality, I am 
kind of looking for a license that Corbis might use but much more liberal in 
terms of the ways one might use the content.

Corbis example: http://pro.corbis.com/creative/terms/

Thank you very much for the responses. You guys are great!

Mitch
