Few enough CC licenses? Really? 12 CC-v1.0 licenses 6 CC-v2.0 licenses 6 CC-v2.5 licenses 6 CC-v3.0 licenses 3 CC-re-branded licenses [1][2][3] 1 public domain dedication 1 CC0 declaration Without counting the incredible number of jurisdiction-specific variants of the above mentioned licenses (some of which include permissions or restrictions worded in such a way to differ in meaning from the corresponding jurisdiction-neutral variant). Are you sure there's a hope that CC licenses could be "few enough"?!? I am personally under the impression that Creative Commons has been a "license proliferation festival" since the beginning of the their activity... :-( [1] http://creativecommons.org/license/cc-gpl [2] http://creativecommons.org/license/cc-lgpl [3] http://creativecommons.org/licenses/BSD/ -- New location for my website!
