DC listers,
A provocative essay arguing for Creative Commons to drop its non-commercial and no-derivatives licenses in its forthcoming 4.0 was posted recently:
http://freeculture.org/blog/2012/08/27/stop-the-inclusion-of-proprietary-licenses-in-creative-commons-4-0/
The response from Creative Commons was equally stimulating (but more cautiously padded):
http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/33874
Members of this list who followed discussion about Open Source projects will find this material very interesting, since it demands clarification on the definition of, and use of, copyrighted and public-domain material.
Best wishes,
jk
