Development of Creative Commons licenses

Terry,

do you have any input for me as to why I get no comments on the possibile 
benefits of licensing the "instance" of a work and all derivatives BY-Sa as 
opposed to the "work" which is the current situation?

Am I not wording this in a way that is clear? Is it just a foolish thought 
and 
people cannot be bothered to respond? I personally think it reduces some 
useful income possibilities for people who want to release their works under 
a Free license but would like to earn some money along the way.

all the best,

drew
