Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Andres Guadamuz <anduril13 AT gmail.com>]

Re-use is a valuable objective, but it is not always the goal of people 
who share their work with CC. People's reasons and strategies vary 
greatly. As a person who uses NC licences, the fact that someone may not 
be re-using my content because of the licence choice doesn't really 
bother me. I believe I'm not alone in this.
