use of an indemnity clause has been debated & rejected precisely because CC is about encouraging use and reuse of CC licensed content. an indemnity clause such as this would chill downstream use and be anti-user even if it could be practically enforced.

also "any and all damages" would include indirect damages which most contracting parties seek to exclude in negotiated contracts.

Currently, CC covers terms regarding copyrights and redistrubition.

Any thoughts on extending CC to include terms found in typical user agrements like EULAs or online terms of services?

I would like to see an indemnity clause. Something like "Licensee
agrees to indemnify licensor from any and all damages resulting from
reuse of this work".

What did you have in mind?
