Those involved in CC-NZ and with an interest in the heritage sector might be interested in a recently released report from the Eduserv Foundation:

Snapshot study on the use of open content licences in the UK cultural heritage sector
http://www.eduserv.ac.uk/upload/foundation/studies/cc2007/final.pdf

Of ~100 organisations responding to a web-based survey, most had digital content online (usually images and text). 59 respondents were aware of Creative Archive or Creative Commons, but only 10 were using a CA or CC licence for some of their content. Another 12 have plans to use a CA or CC licence in the future, and 29 respondents were assessing (informally or formally) the impact of making content available using open content licenses so hopefully that means the ball is rolling, if a little more slowly than many would like...

CC-UK licenses were launched 2 years ago, so this level of awareness and usage might be an interesting benchmark as we move forwards.

Cheers
Sam
