Ahh theres a big problem with number 4. It defeats a large chunks of the rights you are giving with any of the creative commons licenses. To the best of my knowledge the CC licences give people the right to "copy, distribute, display, and perform your work " providing they stick to the other rules

I predict you'll get a mixed response to that notion. And what happens if its not a text ad? Fireant directory has text and non-text ads on their site now, but only Michael Verdi commented on it in the past. I know the whole 'what is commercial' is another sticking point, Im a bit of a hardliner,

Well I totally agree about not being able to use a cc licence and then add extra restrictions (cant do that, its invalid), I find your tone a bit off.

True. But then again maybe Id disagree, the cc license does suggest that you should explicitly state the manner of attribution required, and just because those elements may be present in the RSS feed that isnt the same as declaring them to be a strict requirement of your cc license? Steve Elbows

Well technically there very much is an automatic form of copyright, at least in many countries. So ideally the starting point should be that everyone knows, and should assume, that they have very limited rights to your work, unless they see a creative commons license that gives them extra rights.

This is a great discussion and I'm pleased it's occurring as a result of the MyHeavy.com incident. As with many ethical questions that involve both legal and social criteria, one can use the `reasonable person' concept to assess the situation. For example, it's clearly wrong (and illegal) for

No, existing standard cover this space sufficiently. There is no need for creating a new standard. The problem is not a lack of a standard but lack of support (intentional or not) for existing standards in services (and lack of use of existing standards by creators). - Andreas Den 06.01.200
