Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Evan Prodromou <evan AT bad.dynu.ca>]

I've made a new version of the Creative Commons license summary
available here:

        http://people.debian.org/~evan/ccsummary.html
        http://people.debian.org/~evan/ccsummary.txt

This version has the following changes since version 3:

      * Changed "definition" to "criteria" per Francesco Poli.
      * Changed "1 million works" to "many works", and note that
        estimates range from tens of thousands to tens of millions.
      * Tried to modify the language for explaining why the anti-DRM
        clause and the trademark restrictions make it hard to call works
        available under this license Free.
      * Gave a reference for a CC representative stating that the
        trademark restrictions are not part of the license. This is one
        mailing-list post from July 2004; I'd be interested in seeing
        more.
      * Modified the recommendation for the anti-DRM clause.

Comments welcome.
