Quoting Greg London <teloscorbin AT gmail.com>:

But Creative Commons doesn't require source code,
or has that changed?

It has not. The closest you get to source is the original version. And if the
original version is only available on a DRM-laden system you cannot move it to
other system.

This is why pleas for DRM are *not* pleas for user freedom.

If I have an executable for PS2
and make a non-DRM version available, and if making
a PS2 emulator for my PC is illegal because of DMCA,
then I really have no other way to play it, do I?

Shhhh! The point is that not allowing DRM restricts people's freedom, because
any ban on restricting freedom is obviously a restriction on freedom, and we
cannot have restrictions on freedom. Everybody knows that! ;-)
