discussion of the Creative Commons Metadata work

[Renato Iannella <renato AT iannella.it>]

In reviewing the Human/Legal Code of CC licenses, against the Machine 
Code,
it clear that there is a a lot missing from the Machine code, which is 
to be expected.

For example, the "by-nc-sa/2.0/" Machine code says:
  - permits Reproduction, Distribution, DerivativeWorks
  - requires Notice, Attribution, ShareAlike
  - prohibits CommercialUse

The Human Code is pretty close, although it uses "copy" for
"Reproduction" and adds "display, and perform the work"
as explicit "permits" that are not mentioned in the Machine code.

Of course, the Legal code is significantly detailed compared to the 
other two.
The legal code includes this statement "All rights not expressly 
granted by Licensor
are hereby reserved"

I am wondering (coming from the very explicit world of rights 
expression languages!)
if that last statement means that you cannot "Print" the work?

Cheers
