Kia ora koutou

Just noticed this 3D printer design is being shared under a CC license:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:74669

It's pretty cool to see CC being applied to designs for physical objects. It occurs to me that if designs for hardware are covered by copyright, CC could be used instead of a specific Open Hardware License (eg http://www.tapr.org/ohl.html). This would reduce license proliferation, and could increase the potential for remix and mashup that includes physical objects.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
