Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Mia Garlick <mia AT creativecommons.org>]

how to implement this is a big and important question. the current  
thinking is that, as mike mentioned, we build a wizard and let people  
work through it & then give us feedback as to whether they believe  
that the wizard is accurate as to what is & is not a commercial use.  
once we have this feedback then we can further develop the  
guidelines. ultimately, they would be incorporated as a link to the  
license generator & the commons deed as a illustrative guidelines -  
this way, licensors could view them when applying the license to  
their work & users could view them when using a CC-licensed work &  
thus, the guidelines would form a basis for the bargain between the  
parties.

as i think we've mentioned, the purpose is not to impose a rigid  
standard but to set out some parameters that deal with some of the  
easier cases....
