Development of Creative Commons licenses

Mitch,

I have to agree with Greg here about being confused as
to what you want to do.

You can either work from the licenses back as Greg is
describing or maybe just give us a hypothetical
situation of how you see your work being distributed
and used.

For example, I put my work on p2p, user A downloads
it, I would like him to be free to X but not to Y and
so on...
