It appears that "at your option" is commonly-used language, but I agree
with Jean that it's not entirely clear in this context. At the risk of
lengthening this wonderfully short paragraph, I suggest deleting the
phrase "at your option", and adding a sentence: "You can redistribute,
reuse, or modify this document, as long as you choose one of these
licenses and comply with it." That's consistent with the GPL and Perl
notices, which both start with "you can ...".
How about this alternate, wonderfully short paragraph, which borrows the
langauge from Perl:
This document is Copyright 2004 by its contributors as defined in
the section titled Authors. You can distribute it and/or modify it

This version is actually 3 words shorter than the old one. I deleted a
redundant "under the terms of" just before "the Creative Commons...".
Cheers,
That is also fine. It looks longer (more lines) though, but that might
just be the e-mail.
