Sure -- I read it -- but I was just curious given this comment on  
Lessig's blog:

"This is just the first step in this joint venture that CC and  
public.resource.org have launched. Stay tuned for more public acts of  
manumission, soon. Thanks especially to Carl for making this happen,  
and the generous support of the funders for making this happen in a  
different sense."

This appears that CC was intimately involved in the project. Given  
that there is another existing non-beta option -- the current public  
domain dedication:

<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/>

I was wondering about the status.

Thanks!
