Development of Creative Commons licenses

Drop freshness requirement and use a CC license or look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Directory_Project#License_and_requirements

perhaps that is why almost nobody uses the license referenced above and 
nobody attempts to condition use of (e.g.) feeds on regular polling. 
The technology makes that the natural thing to do anyway.
