Development of Creative Commons licenses

[drew Roberts <zotz AT 100jamz.com>]

Again,

I suggest we all do an experiment. Just give up on the NC option and be done 
with it. In a year or two, evaluate your situation and see if you are doing 
OK. BY-SA is about right for me.

I wouldn't mind a variation that called for like licenses in compilations, 
but 
I have not thought of the issues that could cause.

all the best,
