Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Luis Villa <luis AT tieguy.org>]

I think these look much better, Diane- thanks for taking all the
feedback into account. My only remaining quibble is that I would drop
"all" from "all without asking anyone's permission", as I find it
awkward, but that is just a minor style point. These should be a great
and useful resource for all of us. Thanks!

Luis
