Development of Creative Commons licenses

["Dana Powers" <dana.powers AT gmail.com>]

Not sure if this was part of your question, but CC licenses are
non-exclusive - they do not restrict you from entering into other
licensing deals later.

also, 17 usc 106 is the list of your exclusive rights as a copyright
holder.  no one other than you should be citing it as authority for
distribution of your copyrighted material unless you've agreed to
license your rights to them.  I assume that is what you meant, though.

best,
