I think Jane raises an excellent point here. It seems likely that those
who support the ideals of Creative Commons will be concerned about any
move that seems as though it will stifle creativity and free exchange of
ideas but where does the Creative Commons mission boundary fall?

My personal opinion is that this is pretty much in scope but this sort
of question needs to be one that gets asked again and again.
