Development of Creative Commons licenses

["Greg London" <teloscorbin AT gmail.com>]

To apply DRM, people usually needed to know how
it worked. And to explain how it worked, and release
that information to the public so that anyone could
apply DRM, well, that was usually frowned upon
by the DRM-Dave's of the world. Of course, Dave
frowned by taking people to court.

Maybe things have improved since the "dark times".
