For an example of one time people asked and we got a reply, see
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2004-June/000934.html

I dislike their apparent stance of: if that combination is
overruled by fair use, they can rely on the courts instead
of getting us to clarify it.

A header saying "Creative Commons Trademark License - Not Part of the
Copyirght License" would cover it, I think.

However, this requires a positive action from them, so see
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2004-June/000922.html

Their position may have changed in the last seven or so months.
I've not been following their project much.
