The problem is that we tend to believe that CC licenses are either all good 
or all bad. A licence is not a trademark. CC is not a license, its an 
experimental legal framework to challenge the traditional conception of 
copyright. The GPL is endorsed by CC, but the FSF is pissed off because the 
CC is not an ideological movement, it's a place where lawyers and the 
general public can have some fun, together. The CC initiative is fine, as 
long as we take the time to understand their (easy) licenses.
