I think those are reasonable criteria for the name.

With all respect to David meme, things we might want to avoid might 
include 'music' 'sound' and 'sampling' since they are heavily laden 
with pre-existing but incompatible meanings in some of the 
communities that the license would touch.

How about something more neutral, and, since the license is intended 
for works in any medium (or mixture of media, for that matter), 
something not tied to recorded music per se... perhaps more along the 
lines of:

        Creative Re-Use License
        Creative Derivative Licence
        Collage License

(though 'collage' makes potential incorrect assumption about the 
re-user's choice of technique)

'Creative Derivative' rhymes (in a primitive way), would I think 
speak to lawyers (emphasizing the distinction to non-creative 
derivative re-uses) as well as to laypeople ('creative' being seen as 
positive), and it has a nice rhythm when spoken aloud.

P.S. to Cory: We really should get together and talk about Disneyland 
some time.
